What’s Life Like Without Power?

What to know:

Right now, 600 million people in Africa live without electricity. That means giving birth in the dark, children studying by candlelight, and vaccines spoiling without refrigeration. Lack of access to power deepens inequality—and it doesn’t have to.

Clean energy solutions like solar microgrids can change this. They’re fast, scalable, and already powering schools, clinics, homes, and farms. But to meet Africa’s energy goals, governments need global support.

That’s why Global Citizen Festival 2025 is calling on leaders to invest in African-led energy plans and train 50,000 clean energy workers. Your voice helps build the case. Take the quiz, spread the word, and be part of the movement to power every life.
