Fortis Green Renewables, a subsidiary of Fortis Green Holdings, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with LifeNet International, a U.S.-based non-profit organization dedicated to transforming healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa through medical training, capacity building, and operational support for faith-based health facilities.
This collaboration is a natural alignment with Fortis Green Holdings’ commitment to Africa’s long-term growth and prosperity. LifeNet’s work in countries such as Burundi, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Malawi resonates with this ethos, as both organizations share the goal of sustainable, community-driven impact.

Expand its investment activities centered on increased access to electricity across Africa.
Champion LifeNet’s work in strengthening healthcare systems in partner countries.
Explore opportunities for cross-learning and knowledge-sharing between networks.
Align its wellness-focused vision with proven health initiatives delivering measurable results in African communities.

"LifeNet’s model of empowering clinics to sustainably improve healthcare outcomes is both inspiring and effective. By supporting their mission, we are contributing to better health for communities across Africa."
"Our collaboration with Fortis Green reflects a shared commitment to building stronger, healthier communities," said Santiago Sedaca , CEO at LifeNet International. "Partnerships like these help us extend our reach and deepen our impact where it’s needed most."
LifeNet International’s proven approach – equipping local healthcare providers with medical knowledge, operational systems, and compassionate patient care – has already transformed the delivery of care for millions across Africa.
