In deep solidarity with Earthlife Africa, SHINE is working in South African communities impacted by mine closures. These areas face degraded land, economic collapse, and energy insecurity. We focus on building collective power and feminist alternatives including the groundwork for decentralized, community-controlled renewable energy in places like Soweto that centers the care economy.
Each quarter, SHINE hosts dynamic, multilingual webinars that bring together voices from civil society, women-led enterprises, frontline communities, and progressive investors. This series fosters South–South solidarity by connecting activists across Latin America, Asia, and Africa, while building cross-sector alliances to scale local innovations into continental policy influence.
In Malawi’s Lilongwe area, SHINE partners with women-led community groups to advance energy and climate justice rooted in care, dignity, and self-determination. Through feminist participatory research and popular education, women are documenting experiences of energy poverty and climate disruption while co-creating renewable energy solutions tailored to their communities.
