Clean Energy Fund


Through our Clean Energy Fund, we provide the necessary funds to establish and grow in-country businesses  to import, distribute  and sell lights.   Lights are sold to villagers at the lowest possible price. through sourcing quality low-cost products, and developing  partnerships  with local businesses and facilitating innovative financing mechanisms.

Once the lights are sold, Carbon Community is able to use the proceeds to develop opportunities in new areas. The funds are  used again or ‘recycled’ .
