Help Us Bring Solar Power to Zimbabwe

Donation protected
I extend my heartfelt greetings to each one of you. I am Chipo, the founder of Amandla Elanga Renewables, and today, I stand before you with a vision that has fuelled my passion for the past few years – the creation of a 20MWp ground-mounted solar PV farm in my beloved homeland, Zimbabwe. It is with immense enthusiasm and hope that I reach out to you, seeking your support to turn this dream into a reality, a reality that promises to leave an indelible mark on Zimbabwean communities and reshape the energy landscape. As many of you may be aware, Zimbabwe has been grappling with energy challenges for an extended period, casting a shadow over industrial growth and impacting the provision of education and healthcare. The absence of reliable and sustainable energy sources has hindered the country's progress. However, I firmly believe that by harnessing the abundant sunlight that graces Zimbabwe, we can contribute to a more resilient and eco-friendly energy future. In the heart of this vision, Amandla Elanga Renewables is diligently working on the development of a 20MWp solar farm in Bindura, Zimbabwe. This project holds the promise of transformative change, as it seeks to harness the power of the sun to provide a consistent and sustainable energy source for approximately 10,600 homes.

To provide clarity, let me emphasise that this is a for-profit venture, designed to sustain itself through a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and generate revenue. However, to bring this project to life, I am reaching out to raise funds specifically for the crucial development stage processes. These funds will assist in completing necessary studies and obtaining the permits and licenses required to move forward with building the solar farm. But beyond the technicalities of electricity generation, this project aspires to be a catalyst for positive change in the local community. Our project aims to create employment opportunities for approximately 320 local residents. By doing so, we aspire to uplift livelihoods and promote economic independence, fostering a sense of empowerment within the community.

Beyond economic impact, we commit to reinvesting a portion of the project's profits into community development initiatives. These initiatives will span across education, healthcare, and infrastructure upgrades, creating a holistic and sustainable impact on the lives of the people we aim to serve. In essence, this project goes beyond being a power generation facility; it is a journey toward accelerating the transition to clean energy, paving the way for lasting social and economic benefits. However, this journey requires your support to become a reality. Your financial contributions will play a pivotal role in directly supporting the development and implementation of the 20MWp solar farm. Every donation, regardless of its size, has the potential to make a significant difference. Beyond financial support, your voice can be a powerful catalyst for change. Share our campaign on various social media platforms with friends, family, and colleagues who share a passion for renewable energy and sustainable development. Your advocacy has the potential to inspire others to rally behind this cause.

If you possess skills or expertise in project management or renewable energy, we wholeheartedly welcome your involvement. Reach out to us to explore volunteer opportunities and directly contribute to the success of this transformative project. Corporate Partnerships: Amandla Elanga Renewables is open to collaborations with businesses and organisations that share a commitment to sustainable development. If your organisation aligns with our vision, we invite you to explore potential partnerships.

Let us come together as a force for positive change. Together, we can illuminate a brighter future for Zimbabwe and set an example for transformative projects that align with our shared values. I extend my deepest gratitude to each one of you for your generosity, support, and belief in the power of sustainable change.

Warm regards,
Chipo Murombedzi
