KawiSafi Ventures was created to unlock the potential of renewable off-grid energy as a faster, cheaper, and cleaner way to bring power to Africa's energy poor communities than extending the grid.
Its aim is to deliver clean, affordable energy to more than 10 million people in East Africa, at least half of whom are low-income, and displace more than a million tons of carbon; contributing to solving energy poverty while helping to avert the long-term climate crisis.
The Fund was created and developed by Acumen, an internationally recognized pioneer of impact investing that has invested more than $115 million in companies solving some of the biggest challenges of global poverty.
We are a purpose-driven team on a mission to ensure affordable, reliable and clean energy for all.
We are a team of dedicated, purpose-driven, and passionate investment professionals guided by the Fund's mission to ensure affordable, reliable, and clean energy for all.
