◼️Daily blackouts are not just an inconvenience, they are an actual barrier to education and children’s future. For many young students, this is an every-day reality.

Preventing daily blackouts is possible using renewable solar energy, ensuring teachers and children have access to education even in challenging times.

🌎At Pyrpose we are proud to be working with SAF: Superpower Africa Fund who brings clean energy access to a heavily coal-reliant country - South Africa. As a receiver of Pyrpose’s and our users’ financing, SAF is making a huge impact, such as:

💡Schools save up to 68% on monthly energy bills
💡39% of energy is sourced from the sun monthly 
💡Students and teachers have survived through 57 days of blackouts with solar panels

Join us at Pyrpose.io to back climate innovators and make a real difference in the world! [link in bio]
