DP World’s groundbreaking Solar Mamas initiative has been awarded the ‘Community Involvement Programme of the Year’ in EMEA region at the 2024 Environmental Finance Sustainable Company Awards. This esteemed recognition highlights the programme’s transformative impact on women and communities in rural areas of Senegal, empowering them through solar energy solutions.
In partnership with UK-based Barefoot College International (BCI), the Solar Mamas initiative trains women from rural, non-electrified regions in solar engineering, equipping them with the skills to bring sustainable energy solutions to their communities. DP World’s partnership with BCI is a vital component of its broader strategy to foster sustainable development and empower local populations in the regions where it operates.
