Focus area 6 of 6
A strategic priority area: climate resilience, clean and affordable energy access, and energy equity for underserved and displacement-affected communities.
Climate, Energy Access and Energy Equityis the organization’s sixth focus area and its newest. Unlike the five areas documented in the 2025 organizational profile, it has no projects behind it yet. Everything on this page is written as intent — what we will do, what we are establishing, and what we are seeking partners to fund.
No beneficiary figures, no completed projects, and no donor funding are attributed to this area anywhere on this site.
Every planned programme below extends something the organization already runs — WASH, agriculture, health facility support, vocational training — into its climate and energy dimension.
This area exists to be funded. It is published as a basis for partnership, and it will carry a delivery record only once there is one.
Nigeria's North East sits at the intersection of two crises. Conflict has displaced communities, and a changing climate — shrinking rainfall reliability, receding surface water, degraded farmland, and intensifying flood and heat events — is steadily eroding the livelihoods those communities return to. At the same time, the region records some of the country's lowest rates of access to electricity and clean cooking fuel, a gap that falls hardest on women and girls who bear the time and health costs of fuel collection and smoke exposure.
WeCare For You International Organization is establishing Climate, Energy Access and Energy Equity as its sixth focus area. It extends work the organization already does — WASH, agriculture, health facility support, women's economic empowerment — into the climate and energy dimension that increasingly determines whether those gains hold.
This area is a forward commitment. Unlike the five areas above, it is not yet backed by delivered projects, and we present it as a statement of priority and a basis for partnership rather than as a record of results.
The objectives this area will be held to once it is funded. None has been attempted, and none should be read as a description of anything already done.
Establish community-level climate vulnerability and energy access baselines in the LGAs where we already operate.
Power essential services — health, education, and water — with reliable, maintainable solar systems.
Reduce the household energy burden carried disproportionately by women and girls.
Integrate climate resilience into every existing programme rather than running it as a silo.
Build a pipeline of women and youth trained and certified in renewable energy trades.
Represent affected community priorities in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe State climate planning processes.
The 9 lines of work this area will run through. Each is a planned intervention, not a current capability.
Every programme here is planned. Each extends work the organization already delivers in another area into its climate and energy dimension, which is why we believe it can be stood up quickly with the right partner.
Planned: photovoltaic systems with battery storage and maintenance training for primary health centres, learning centres, and community water points, so that cold chain, night-time delivery, lighting, and pumping do not depend on grid availability or fuel supply.
Planned: improved and clean cookstove access paired with health messaging, targeting the respiratory disease burden and the fuel-collection time cost borne by women and girls.
Planned: targeted energy access support for households systematically excluded from electrification — displaced families, women-headed households, and remote settlements — recognising that energy poverty and gender inequality compound one another.
Planned: extension of our existing agricultural development work into drought-tolerant varieties, water-efficient irrigation, soil conservation, and seasonal forecasting for smallholder farmers.
Planned: community flood and drought early warning arrangements developed with the Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency, enabling action before a shock rather than relief after it.
Planned: solar installation, maintenance, and enterprise training delivered through our existing vocational training model, with explicit female enrolment targets.
These alignments are stated priorities. Where the goal register marks a contribution as evidenced by delivery, that evidence comes from our other focus areas — not from this one.
Direct cash grants reached 1,320 women in 2021 under a UNDP award, and our market assessment work grounds livelihood programming in what the local economy can actually absorb.
Our CMAM and IYCF programme in Damboa and Geidam reached 500 pregnant and lactating women and 1,000 children under two with screening, therapeutic feeding, and feeding-practice counselling, funded by the World Food Programme.
Women and girls are the primary constituency across our portfolio: 1,320 women received cash grants, 500 pregnant and lactating women received nutrition support, 26 women were trained as trainers, and women held 15 of 32 seats on the community management committees we trained.
We drilled a community borehole at Tasha Sani in Yola South and distribute WASH and hygiene kits alongside health outreach, working with RUWASA on rural water and sanitation.
A core commitment under our new Climate, Energy Access and Energy Equity focus area: solar electrification of health centres, schools, and water points; clean cooking access; and closing the energy access gap for displaced and women-headed households. No energy project has yet been delivered.
Community infrastructure delivered to date includes a borehole at Tasha Sani and a learning centre at Dougire, with schools, health centres, and community resource hubs in our stated infrastructure programme.
Our UNDP Early Recovery and Resilience work in Daware and Malkohi builds community resilience in conflict-affected settlements and trains the management committees that sustain it after handover.
A stated priority under our climate and environment work: sustainable resource use in agriculture, reduced fuelwood dependence through clean cooking, and waste reduction in our own operations.
The central commitment of our sixth focus area: community climate vulnerability assessment, adaptation planning, flood and drought early warning and anticipatory action, and climate resilience integrated into every existing programme. This is a forward commitment; no climate project has yet been delivered.
A stated priority: tree planting, land restoration, and soil and water conservation in an operating area facing measurable desertification pressure and farmland degradation.
Our delivery record runs through partnership: UNDP, WFP, the Government of Japan, ADSEMA, ADSUBEB, RUWASA, ADSAMA, the Baitul Hikma Wal Ulum Foundation, and the traditional authorities in every community we enter.
The goal register connects this goal to Climate & Energy even though the focus area does not list it itself. Both mappings are shown rather than reconciled.
The six areas overlap by design — several projects are delivered under two of them at once.
This area is a commitment looking for its first partner. We are seeking funding to establish the community climate and energy baselines that everything else here depends on.
