Empower a Billion Lives (EBL) transforms the future by harnessing innovative technology and entrepreneurial spirit to provide life-changing energy solutions to underserved communities worldwide. Since 2018, our global competition has fueled breakthrough ideas—supporting over 200 startups across Africa, Asia, and Latin America—that deliver reliable, affordable power to millions. Your donation accelerates this movement, enabling entrepreneurs to develop scalable systems that break the cycle of energy poverty and open doors to education, health, and economic opportunity.

Through our biennial innovation challenge, EBL unites visionary thinkers, local innovators, and partners committed to creating sustainable energy access. We leverage cutting-edge technologies such as solar, microgrids, and advanced battery storage, empowering communities to harness clean energy that transforms lives. Every contribution directly funds research, mentorship, and deployment efforts, ensuring these solutions reach those who need them most—rural villages, refugee camps, and marginalized populations—within months, not years.

Join us in shaping a future where every person has the power to thrive. Your support fuels a relentless pursuit of scalable, cost-effective solutions that bring hope, dignity, and stability to the world's most vulnerable. Together, we can unlock the potential of billions, sparking a global movement that energizes communities, drives economic growth, and builds a more equitable world—because no one should be left in the dark.
