The Story of FRES | Our mission
Foundation Rural Energy Services (FRES) advances electrification in rural areas in Africa by establishing small-scale, commercial electricity companies.
We provide households and small businesses with electricity, preferably generated by solar energy, to meet the demand for proper lighting, radio and TV, charging cell phones, and a broad range of commercial activities.
In this way they contribute to the social and economic development of rural areas.
