A unique moment to support change across three sectors in Africa
Together, they represent something quite rare: the chance to diversify your investment across sectors while staying aligned to a single purpose: using capital to improve lives and protect the planet in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Energise Africa team has worked hard to bring these diverse and impactful opportunities to investors, offering attractive targeted returns alongside the opportunity to support something meaningful. Here’s what’s on offer:
Roam — electric mobility in Kenya
Kenya's boda boda riders (the motorbike taxi operators who move millions of people and goods across the country) depend on their bikes for everything. But petrol is expensive, unreliable, and polluting.
Roam has built an electric motorbike purpose-designed for commercial use in African conditions. Durable and affordable, this bond helps put 235 more Roam Air bikes on the road.
Roam
The £300,000 bond targets a 6.75% return over 6 months and will fund:
- 235 new electric motorcycles deployed
- ~60% reduction in running costs for riders
- 1,962 tonnes of CO₂ avoided over the lifetime of the bikes
EcoSafi — clean cookstoves across East Africa
Indoor air pollution from open-fire cooking kills more people than malaria. It's one of the most persistent and preventable health crises in sub-Saharan Africa, and it hits women and children hardest.
EcoSafi distributes clean cookstoves that cut emissions, massively reduce fuel costs, and give families back important time. Nearly 5,000 households will be better off and save 61 hours a year each; we think that’s lives meaningfully changed.
The £300,000 targets an 8% return over 24 months and will fund:
- 4,932 clean cookstoves manufactured and distributed
- 4,932 families with cleaner, safer kitchens
- 37,673 tonnes of CO₂ avoided over the lifetime of the stoves
- 61 hours saved per household annually
Maskh — green mini-grids in Nigeria
600 million people in Africa still live without reliable electricity, so they have no lights, TVs, fridges or powered medical equipment, and no way to charge a phone.
Maskh is building 19 green mini-grid sites in Bauchi and Jigawa states and connecting communities that the national grid has never reached. Nearly 67,000 people and 1,881 businesses, schools and health clinics will benefit.
The £600,000 bond offer targets an 8% return over and will fund:
- 19 green mini-grid sites built and connected
- Clean, reliable power for nearly 67,000 people
- 1,881 small businesses, schools and health facilities connected
- 177,664 tonnes of CO₂ avoided over the lifetime of the grids
A unique moment for UK impact investors
Impact investing in Africa doesn’t have to mean choosing a single cause and committing to it, right now an investor who cares about climate, health, and economic inclusion doesn't have to pick one. They can back all three and, best of all, be kept in the loop about the impact their investment is making. Recently, Energise Africa updated investors in their OnePower bonds on the development of the mini grids their money is funding. Imagine the satisfaction of seeing homeowners in rural Benin turn on their first lightbulb thanks to a project you have backed. That’s impact investing in action.
And it is what it looks like when patient, purposeful capital meets well-run, groundbreaking businesses that need it. Lives change for the better, and we take a step closer to our net-zero future.
All three opportunities are open now on the Energise Africa platform.
Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high - risk investment and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 minutes to learn more www.energiseafrica.com/risk-summary
