Schöpfung nachhaltig bewahren e.V. is a registered association founded in 2004 by members of ecumenical committees focused on justice, peace, and environmental stewardship. The organization promotes renewable energy projects in developing countries, particularly Ethiopia, through its subsidiary Erneuerbare Energien für die Eine Welt GmbH. Key projects include installing solar lighting systems in rural schools and establishing solar technical centers. The organization operates a Revolving Fund microfinance model providing small credits for larger solar installations. Revenue from rooftop solar installations in Germany (45 kWp in Berghausen, 15 kWp mensa installation) funds international development work. By 2010, the organization aimed to equip 18 village schools with classroom lighting and establish 50 solar centers across Ethiopia, with five already operational.
