Powering progress with energy in Kenya

Inspiring children’s learning through mentoring
We believe investing in children’s early years can level the playing field for life. That’s why we’re funding a project that focuses on children from less advantaged backgrounds and working with their parents to ensure children are ready to start school and settle in once they get there.
Giving £100,000 each year to our communities
By providing local charities with a cash injection every year, our “OVO Gives Back” scheme has supported a community food-growing project, launched a new intergenerational programme, revamped a city farm play area and funded a digital arts programme for young homeless people.
