Build clean energy resilience in underserved communities – both locally and abroad
through equitable workforce development and access to zero-emission electricity
Edwin Wanji, the founder of Sphere One, grew up in Kenya attending schools with unreliable electricity where he experienced first hand how the disparity in access to something as basic as power could widen economic differences and impede prosperity.

Yet people of color and women remain underrepresented in the clean energy sector. Sphere One provides career exploration and job training programs focused on increasing the diversity of the clean energy workforce.
