Review of Solidarity Energy Week 2025

From September 29 to October 5, 2025, Electriciens sans frontières and its partners mobilized across France to highlight the Solidarity Energy Week — a key moment to raise awareness about the challenges of access to electricity, water, and sanitation for the most vulnerable populations.

🇫🇷 Focus on events in France

Throughout the week, our volunteers, regional delegations, and partners joined forces to organize more than 50 events — including conferences, workshops, exhibitions, film screenings, and educational activities — all across the country.

These initiatives helped raise awareness among hundreds of citizens, employees, and students about the importance of access to sustainable energy and water for all, while showcasing the projects led by Electriciens sans frontières around the world.

🤝 The essential role of our partners

For nearly 40 years, Electriciens sans frontières has been acting thanks to the solidarity and commitment of its partners and volunteers. Their expertise, generosity, and dedication — both in the field and within their companies — are key to the success of our projects.

During the Solidarity Energy Week, they joined us to share our messages, host events, and mobilize their networks around a common goal: making energy a driver of international solidarity.

Thank you to all our volunteers, regional delegations, and partners for making this 2025 edition such a success!
