Can women living in energy poverty bring power to the people? Can a market-based distributed movement leapfrog the current energy paradigm that is causing global warming? Bringing power to the 20% of the world’s population living in darkness might just be the greatest business opportunity of our time, and women, with proper financing and training, hold the key to unlocking this market. This is the story of Empower Generation, a group of social entrepreneurs who are creating localized solutions to global problems by transforming energy access from a life-threatening struggle into a life-changing opportunity. It’s a story of empowerment, of entrepreneurship, and of the journey we are on to change the world. Watch this TEDxZurich talk by 2013 Alumni, Anya Cherneff from Empower Generation — a non-profit social enterprise that empowers women to own and operate clean energy distribution businesses in Nepal.
