Clean energy for Africa. learn it, own it get paid by it.

We build solar and battery power for hospitals, schools and businesses across Africa, then open it up to
you. learn how it works, then invest in a project and share in what it earns.

THE LEARNING PATH

Four steps, in order — from Energy Basics to Deal Structuring.

Meet the heart of
our community

01

Originate

Find sites that need power.

02

Check

Test the demand, the payer, the site.

03

Fund

Bring the capital together.

04

Build

Install with vetted partners.

05

Monitor

Watch performance live.

06

Report

Money and impact, monthly.

We find, fund, build, and monitor each project—with vetted
partners and transparent monthly reporting.

One team,
the whole job

Built for the whole
value chain

Operators need capital and knowledge. Investors need operators and diligence tools. Everyone needs the same room.

Investors

Put money into a real African energy project and earn from the power it sells. Learn first, invest when you qualify

Facilities

Burning diesel? Get onsite power that stays on, and pay for energy, not kit

Operators & partners

EPCs, O&M and suppliers: qualified projects and a shared standard

Students & diaspora

A structured way into the sector before it goes mainstream – no finance degree needed.

Powering Africa’s energy transition with shared knowledge

We originate, structure, build and monitor energy infrastructure for critical facilities – and teach the ecosystem how that work actually gets done.

About us

Your recommended learning path

Each step builds on the last — no prior finance background required.

Start now

Learn the sector before
you back it

Open to everyone. Learn energy, project finance, diligence, and deal structuring through practical, operator-led sessions and live projects—then invest with confidence.

The power gap is a money problem too

600 million people in Africa live without steady power. Hospitals run fridges and theatres on diesel. Businesses burn about 23 billion dollars a year fuelling generators in sub-Saharan Africa. The healthcare financing gap alone is 2.6 billion dollars across seven countries.

 

The projects that would fix this are often too small for big infrastructure funds and too scattered for a bank to price. So they don’t get built. That is the gap Tribes works in.

Why it matters

Every deal that fails for want of shared knowledge is infrastructure that never gets built.

Our Promise

Plain English, always. Frameworks you can actually use. And a room where the people doing the work answer your questions.

Need reliable power for your hospital, school, or business?

We fund and run solar + battery systems. No upfront cost—just pay for the
energy you use, usually less than diesel.

Start where it makes sense for you.

Plain-English learning, diligence frameworks, operator-led conversations, and a
network that moves at the speed of the sector. Open to everyone.
