About Us
We’re here to spark change.
Power4Change is a registered Australian charity delivering energy solutions to communities left in the dark — whether by poverty, remoteness, or disaster. Founded by a small team of tradies, health workers, and dreamers, we believe electricity is more than power — it’s opportunity, safety, and dignity. We began with nothing but determination, fully self-funded and hands-on from day one. And this is just the beginning.
Meet the Founder — The Story Behind Power4Change
Meet the Team
-
Sarah Ogilvie - Founder & Director
Sarah is an apprentice electrician, adventurer, and the heart behind Power4Change. Known for her grit, compassion, and refusal to sit still. She started her first job at just seven years old and was volunteering and running her own fundraisers by nine. She’s passionate about hands-on impact, always the first to show up and the last to give up — even if it means pouring every cent she has into a project she believes in. Sarah self-funded Power4Change’s very first mission, installing solar power in remote mountain villages of the Philippines. She’s driven by a deep belief in equity, opportunity, and the idea that we’re all capable of creating meaningful change — we just have to be willing to start.
