With a new annual budget of €400,000, the Fondation Nexans has already supported 158 projects in 38 countries in partnership with 71 organizations bringing electrical power to nearly 2,670,000 people.

The Fondation Nexans supports large well-known non-profit associations involved in the access to energy such as "Electriciens Sans Frontières", the Group for the Environment, Renewable Energy and Solidarity (GERES) and the "Fondation Énergies pour le Monde" (Fondem), TECHO for large-scale projects, as well as smaller organizations such as Shekina, EcoSwell, Woman of Africa. 

We work across the world primarily in countries affected by energy poverty – most projects are developed in Sub-Saharan Africa, but also Morocco, Lebanon, Asia, South America, Haiti and France.
