Youth Engagement | Clean Energy Education | Community Outreach


Detra Energy brought clean energy awareness closer to young people through an activation at Rubaga Girls Secondary School, showcasing renewable energy and clean cooking technologies to students and the school community.

The engagement formed part of Detra Energy's commitment to ensuring that conversations around renewable energy are not limited to current energy users but also reach the next generation of consumers, innovators and leaders.



Educating the Next Generation

The transition to sustainable energy requires informed communities.

Schools provide an important platform for introducing young people to conversations around:

  • Renewable energy

  • Clean cooking

  • Environmental sustainability

  • Energy efficiency

  • Responsible energy consumption

  • Innovation and technology

Through demonstrations and engagement, students had an opportunity to learn more about clean cooking technologies and understand their role in creating healthier and more sustainable communities.


Clean Energy Beyond the Household

Clean cooking affects families, institutions and communities.

By introducing young people to improved cooking technologies, Detra Energy is helping create awareness that can extend beyond the school environment and into homes and communities.

Students can become important ambassadors for sustainability by sharing what they learn with their families and communities.


Community Outreach Through Partnerships

The Rubaga Girls engagement was not part of the UECCC programme. Instead, it reflects Detra Energy's broader commitment to reaching communities through partnerships and outreach initiatives.

Our work is strengthened by relationships with organisations including SNV, GIZ Uganda, NREP, ICLEI, UNACC, the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Development and other sector stakeholders. These partnerships and community platforms enable us to take clean energy awareness to more people across Uganda.


Investing in Awareness Today

Renewable energy adoption requires more than technology.

It requires education, awareness and a generation that understands the importance of sustainable energy choices.

At Detra Energy, we are committed to contributing to that journey.

Clean energy education today helps build a cleaner future tomorrow.
