Light Up A Village takes a novel approach to assisting the energy-deprived communities in Democratic republic of Congo by offering a comprehensive solution that combines renewable energy, community-based education, and entrepreneurial opportunities.

We work hard to build and maintain the trust and support of each community we serve. Every measure is take to preserve local culture and heritage while thoughtfully introducing new technology, business practices and other services to improve lives. This is a top priority and very important to our founder and native son, Dr. Avoki Omekanda.

Extremes of climate, topography, the world’s second worst hunger crisis, lack of electricity and clean water, political instability, Internet connectivity, neighborhood rivalries are just a few obstacles we have had to face. But, with your help we’re up for the challenge.

.

The aim of LUV is multifold. We’re aim to bring change in villages in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in sectors related to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals including Agriculture, Education and  Solar Electrification. Each sector will have its own set of activities and goals, such as:

• End hunger
• Ensure agricultural productivity
• Create jobs in local communities
• Ensure increased Education
• Promote entrepreneurship
• and more…

We offer offers several options for partnerships. This ranges from the adoption or sponsorship of a LUV site, support for an existing program in our local communities or by making a tax deductible donation via monthly or one-time donations here on our website. Please contact us with any further questions you may have.

LUV is open to partnerships that will ensure the empowerment and dissolution of poverty in our communities. Our partmners include local NGOs, states parties, advisory Bodies, non-governmental and inter-governmental organizations, the private sector and the media.

In the interest of the progression of our work to combat energy poverty, hunger and economic distress and imperiled communities, Light Up A Village and its partners have developed a series of programs and are actively involved in the implementation of projects, workshops, seminars and training courses.
