SayPro, in collaboration with the United States Peace Corps, is encouraging the creation of community-owned renewable energy projects to ensure equitable energy access and sustainability. SayPro supports communities in developing solar, wind, and biogas systems tailored to local needs. Peace Corps volunteers help SayPro conduct energy audits, provide technical guidance, and mobilize residents. SayPro promotes ownership models that keep control and benefits within the community. These projects reduce dependence on costly fossil fuels and boost energy resilience. SayPro believes clean energy should be a right—not a privilege—for every community.
SayPro facilitates training for local technicians and leaders to manage, maintain, and scale energy systems. With Peace Corps support, SayPro ensures that communities gain the skills and confidence needed to sustain operations independently. SayPro also helps form energy cooperatives that democratically govern these projects. These cooperatives generate local jobs and promote collective investment. SayPro empowers people to become energy producers and stewards of their environment.
SayPro emphasizes inclusion by involving women, youth, and marginalized groups in every stage of renewable energy planning. Peace Corps volunteers assist SayPro in hosting inclusive dialogues and ensuring equal access to training opportunities. SayPro helps integrate renewable energy into schools, clinics, and small businesses. These efforts improve quality of life and create new avenues for economic development. SayPro ensures energy transition is community-driven and just.
SayPro measures success through access expansion, energy savings, and reduced carbon emissions. In collaboration with Peace Corps, SayPro replicates community-owned energy models across different regions. These initiatives reflect SayPro’s values of sustainability, empowerment, and innovation. SayPro is committed to building energy systems that are clean, inclusive, and owned by the people they serve. Through these projects, SayPro lights the way to a greener, more equitable future.
