Development Dfid

dfid: It's notable that this scheme is supported by UK aid money from the Department for International Development DfID and offers a guarantee, although this only covers the first 100 of capital invested and applies to first-time investors, according to The Guardian. Energise Africa enables ordinary people to invest in bonds issued by solar companies, allowing them to provide life-changing solar home systems to low-income families in countries such as Kenya, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania. That's the offer from an ethical investment scheme that allows people to put money into companies providing African families with access to clean, affordable solar energy. With a minimum investment of 50 and expected annual returns that have in the past typically ranged from 5% to 7%, this is a potentially straightforward and accessible way for people to make sure their money is doing some good. However, above and beyond that guarantee, your capital is at risk, and the returns are not guaranteed. And the guarantee on offer to new investors will definitely provide reassurance.
