Fondation Nexans: Recent examples

Each year, approximately ten projects are selected. Featured 2025 projects:

  • Benin: the 3R project, led by NGO GERES, aims to study, valorize, and structure the solar energy waste management sector. This innovative program reduces the environmental impact of solar energy while strengthening the skills and training of local stakeholders in the sector.
  • Peru: in partnership with TECHO Peru, the foundation supports the Luz al Barrio project, which improves street lighting in certain neighborhoods of Lima to reduce the sense of insecurity. Many communities across the country are already benefiting from this initiative.
  • Morocco: the foundation partners with the ENR Cluster on the Green Midelt project. Implemented over three years, this initiative aims to develop local entrepreneurship and renewable energy skills in the Midelt region through targeted training and mentoring programs.
