About Us

All We Are is a nonprofit organization bringing sustainable energy solutions to communities in Uganda. We dream of a world where everybody has access to affordable energy through community-focused, renewable solutions. 

How we do it

100% Model

Private donors and our volunteer team cover All We Are’s operating expenses, so 100% of public donations go straight to our projects.

Local Connection

Our Ugandan partners help us vet locations for our solar projects, and our team of local electricians install and maintain the systems.

Volunteer Members

Our dedicated global volunteer team works in remote distributed teams alongside our employees and partners in Uganda on all of our projects.
