Let’s go solar, together!
Our Partnership Model
Twende Solar partners with existing mission-driven organizations and community partners to expand electricity access through the installation of solar infrastructure. We strive to empower underserved communities with electricity access through solar energy, addressing inequities and unlocking opportunities for education, economic growth, and sustainable development.
We leverage our solar expertise and connections to empower our partners and work collaboratively to secure the resources, materials, and technical support necessary to complete solar installations that meet the unique needs of each community we serve.
Partner & Project Eligibility
To apply to partner with Twende Solar, organizations and their proposals should meet the following criteria:
The partner organization is a community-based entity and/or demonstrates a clear historical connection to the community it serves.
The organization holds 501(c)(3) status in the United States or equivalent charitable nonprofit status in its country of operations.
The partnership proposal’s primary focus is on the construction solar infrastructure with a goal to increase electricity access in underserved or marginalized communities.
The community served has an active leadership role in defining the system design, installation, maintenance, and management of the solar infrastructure to ensure sustainability and long-term success.
Twende Solar aims to deliver electricity where it has the greatest potential for impact and will serve a broad base of community members, such as schools and community centers.
Partner inquiries are accepted year round and will be reviewed in the order they are received. Twende Solar cannot guarantee support of any particular project but we will do our best to respond in a timely manner to follow up with additional questions to determine if the project is viable. If a project proposal meets our initial review we will reach out to set up a preliminary meeting to discuss next steps.
