KawiSafi seeks to make a significant step-change in impact by investing at the nexus of climate and energy poverty. By investing in companies that are developing decarbonized, distributed energy infrastructure, we can provide critical essential services and enhanced productivity to underserved populations across Africa.

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.
