Energy For Opportunity (EFO) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of solar energy across the West African Region. They provide solar energy to off-grid families, schools, organizations, and communities in Sierra Leone, Benin, and Mali. ==History== Energy For Opportunity's two founders, Simon Willans and Paul Munro, first met while living and working with community-based organizations in rural Uganda.〔Coster, Helen (2011) (Forget the Grid. Can Solar Power Light Africa? ) Forbes Magazine (online)〕 This initial collaboration led to further opportunities in Sierra Leone and Liberia, where they helped to implement a large-scale solar electricity installation project in twelve schools and health clinics in refugee affected areas across Liberia. Rob Munro, who has worked in post-catastrophe relief, has served as EFO's Chief Information Officer since its inception. Energy For Opportunity was registered as a charity in Canada on September 21, 2009. EFO has also twice been a prize winner of the Africa Rural Connect competition run by the National Peace Corps Association. EFO's work with Solar Powered Community Charging Stations was presented at the 56th Annual International Council for Small Business (ICSB) World conference in Sweden. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Energy For Opportunity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
