Electricity is a basic human need. In the second post of our 2-part blog, we are exploring the possibilities for microgrids to better and brighten the lives of refugees in Rwanda. Providing reliable energy empowers communities and creates economic benefits that lift refugees out from under the poverty trap.
Energy poverty is a struggle faced by people around the world and a barrier to prosperity and health in refugee camps. Recent advancements in microgrid technology can provide sustainable electricity and clean water, which gives refugees the resources to work, study, run a business and avoid harmful cooking fumes. In this 2-part blog, we are exploring Rwanda and sub-Saharan Africa to address disparities in refugee camps and dive into the solutions that microgrids can provide in these communities and beyond.
Hopefully you’ve seen RUN-GJC partners in the news and heard about the clean, community microgrids the team has been working on since 2016. The microgrids have come a loooong way since then and recently hit a big milestone: staff was hired!

In our last blog, we gave you a rundown on how the U.S. food system works, and all the energy use (and waste!) that goes along with it. This time we dive into the world of sustainable agriculture, and more specifically: permaculture! Read on for an explanation of permaculture, how it contributes to a circular food economy, and some tips for incorporating permaculture into your everyday life.
