The Energy of Hope
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES:
- Promoting children's access to affordable, sustainable, and quality energy;
- Enhancing the quality of secondary education through digital access;
- Identifying, developing, and providing an appropriate digital solution in favour of education, health and protection.
THE PROJECTS
Solar lamps for schoolchildren in the Sahel
Distributing individual solar lamps to primary and secondary school pupils, including the creation of charging stations within schools.
These lamps allow to:
- Offer a sustainable alternative to oil lamps, which are sources of pollution;
- Prevent girls from dropping out of school by making their commutes safer;
- Provide pupils with more time to study.
Equipped with mobile phone chargers, they also promote the digital inclusion of families.
Access to digital education in high schools
Providing electricity through sources of renewable energy and creation of digital libraries in high schools located in rural areas.
Digital access allows to:
- Provide educational resources to teachers, to strengthen their capacities and support them in their teaching;
- Provide students with access to content adapted to local school curricula;
- Fight against the isolation of teachers and to develop the creativity and initiative of students.
Tech for Child - Promoting the provision of digital content and mobile applications for the protection, access to education, and health of children
The Tech for Child platform created by AMADE brings together various partners involved in digital innovation (incubators, entrepreneurs, investors, mobile phone operators, financial partners, foundations, etc.) at the service of children. Tech for Child's objectives are as follows:
- Identifying, incubating, and accelerating mobile applications that address issues related to education, health, and child protection;
- Developing an offer of adapted content;
- Promoting the distribution of these applications.
YERE - A last-mile distribution network providing access to energy and digital technology
AMADE also launched the YERE network, a local distribution network helping children access energy. YERE also aims to promote and distribute via this network the dedicated digital solution developed by AMADE and its partners, which includes all associated services.
Through energy, the YERE network aims to be a vehicle for inclusion and integrated development for children and their communities.
