E3Empower Africa is a social enterprise based in Arusha, Tanzania, dedicated to transforming the community by providing solutions in three domains: Education, Energy, and Entrepreneurship. It is our belief that these three areas are closely intertwined, and change in one area overflows to another holistically to reduce poverty while creating more opportunities to learn, to build a competitive econ
omy, and to achieve a high-quality standard of living across the nation. In Arusha, we are providing IT education service and teacher training for secondary schools in the region. In addition, we run business plan competitions to provide opportunities for aspiring local entrepreneurs. Our US headquarter is in Santa Clara, California (USA) that focuses on supplying innovative products to help relieve some of the most essential needs people face every day in the developing world. Our current products aim to provide safe drinking water, solar lighting, and low-cost computing solutions and are being used by people in over 30 countries carried by our customers. Along with providing the appropriate technology items, E3Empower partners with other organizations in the developing countries to help the local people run micro-enterprises. We strongly believe that providing opportunities to create a valuable business is one of the most powerful ways to transform people into leaders. We want to let them know that we are not just giving out charity, but we are giving them the chance to become partners in the global community! We have been supplying products and working on community development projects in various countries through partnerships, including Lebanon, Haiti, Brazil, and Tanzania among others. With the ever-increasing need for support for Syrian refugees, E3Empower has also been supporting Syrian refugees in Saadnayel, Bekka, Lebanon with reusable water filters and portable solar LED lamps since the beginning of 2013.
