The Energy Access program seeks to overcome the lack of electricity in remote and underserved regions by providing solar energy solutions. This program emphasizes installing portable solar systems for households and solar mini-grids for businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, or small communities. Moreover, this program fosters local economic growth and development and enhances quality of life through reliable and renewable solar energy services.
Expand access to solar energy services, particularly in off-grid and weak-grid communities, empowering those communities to improve their livelihoods with energy access.
The Clean Electric Cooking program addresses the pressing issue of indoor air pollution and deforestation in underserved communities by promoting energy-efficient electrical appliances for cooking. By replacing traditional biomass-based cookstoves, this program aims to improve health outcomes, especially for women and children, reduce environmental degradation, and lower carbon emissions.
To reduce carbon emissions and indoor air pollution by promoting the adoption of energy-efficient electric cooking appliances for households, institutions and commercial establishments.
The Safe Water program addresses a significant gap in access to safe drinking water free of microbes that cause water-borne diseases, diarrhea, and even death. Through Community Solar Water Kiosks utilizing UV water purification and Smart Water Dispensers, the program provides income-generating, pre-paid, safe water services that are the most cost-effective and sustainable, particularly for rural, off-grid communities.
To improve access to clean and safe drinking water by leveraging energy-efficient and affordable solar-powered water purification technologies in underserved communities.
The Digital Infrastructure program addresses the digital divide in underserved communities, particularly in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, where unreliable internet access combined with high costs to access mobile telephone networks inhibits access to valuable information and cost-effective collection, storage, and transfer of data. Through backup power solutions for internet access devices and a unique Edge Computing device, TWB aims to support interventions that enable reliable connectivity and facilitates cost-effective, local data management which is essential in understanding and verifying the impact of interventions deployed.
To expand access to digital infrastructure solutions that bridge the digital divide in sub-Saharan Africa and other underserved regions.
The Humanitarian Services program leverages TWB’s core competencies in Energy Access, Clean Cooking and Safe Water Services and extends those services to displaced populations.
To provide crisis-affected populations with essential services that provide near-term humanitarian relief and long-term access to productive and income-generating opportunities.
Trade Without Borders’ programs provide sustainable, impactful solutions that address critical challenges in underserved communities. TWB’s initiatives, such as clean cooking, safe water, digital infrastructure, and energy access, leverage innovative technologies like solar power and Edge Computing to improve health, education, and economic opportunities. By targeting regions with limited access to basic resources, TWB empowers local communities with the tools and knowledge to drive long-term, inclusive development. Its focus on sustainability, capacity building, and regional partnerships ensures that the solutions remain effective and scalable. With measurable outcomes like improved health, reduced environmental impact, and expanded digital connectivity, TWB offers funders an opportunity to invest in projects that create tangible, lasting change across multiple sectors.
