Ashden Climate Solutions ​​​

Ashden Climate Solutions (Ashden) is a climate change charity working to boost climate innovation in the UK and the Global South. 
 
Howden Foundation are supporting Ashden to expand their work with displaced people in refugee camps in Northern Kenya and Uganda. Through a locally-tailored call for applications, this programme will provide nine refugee-led organisations (RLOs) with direct grant funding, technical assistance and communications support, helping them to scale their work and draw funding attention from the donor, investor and climate finance communities. The programme will focus on supporting solutions which provide communities with access to reliable, affordable, clean energy technologies that enable them to adapt to a changing climate, and increase resilience to drought and extreme heat (e.g. solar irrigation, fuel efficient cooking to combat deforestation, and home cooling).
