Urbis Foundation
Welcome
As a charitable foundation, we are dedicated to promoting the use of renewable energies and protecting our climate and environment. For more than 20 years now, we have been sensitising for a more sustainable use of our resources and offering people a perspective for a brighter future.
Regionally, we focus our activities on Sub-Saharan Africa. A special emphasis lies on our partner country Togo, where we have been implementing projects since 2002. Additionally, we offer funding support to initiatives in Kenya, Senegal, Tanzania, Togo and Uganda, which advocate the use and implementation of renewable energies. Here you can download our anniversary brochure from 2022, which presents highlights of our multifaceted work over the last 20 years (in German).
