Energise Africa enables small or larger investors to invest money in African projects to provide solar energy to small villages and businesses. Most African villages have no energy sources. This is an alternative to just making donations to charities. Hopefully the investments will bring in some income and not be lost.

Investing in greening Africa
A good way to invest in sustainable enterprises in Africa and Asia via a stocks and shares ISA. Processes are a bit clunky sometimes and you're expected to reinvest in more good opportunities rather than extract your money, but the rates are good and you feel you've done a little bit of good in a world torn apart by fossil-fueled psychopaths.

Very easy to invest in projects that do good
Very easy to invest in projects that do good in Africa and help the climate, within a tax-free IFISA. The platform makes keeping track of all one's investments very easy. Obviously with this type of investment, there are risks that companies may default, which is why spreading one's capital across a range of investments within the platform makes sense. There are no charges. Just do not expect to be able to get at the money earlier than the specified repayment dates.

A good use for your money, but at a risk…
I've used the platform for some years to put money to good use for renewable energy in Africa. Interest rates are good, but that reflects the increased risk of these projects, and I have lost significant sums with some over the years. Investors are repeatedly warned of this risk.
The process of application is fairly straightforward, though you're made to download the offer document twice, to make sure you understand the risks. It's useful that you can invest in an ISA.
