What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Resilience Energy, a Cape Town-based energy service company, is helping schools across South Africa reduce electricity costs and invest more in education — all through the power of the sun.
The company’s Solar PV Project for Schools provides rooftop solar systems to public schools, with a strong focus on “no fee schools” in Cape Town. These schools often face tight budgets and unstable energy supply. With Resilience Energy’s support, they receive solar power at no upfront cost through an “Energy as a Service” model — meaning clean electricity is supplied during school hours, while surplus energy is sold back to the grid.
This not only ensures stable electricity but also generates revenue that helps subsidize energy use at no cost to the school.
The project has earned the FAST-Infra Self-Assessed Label, recognizing its alignment with global principles for sustainable infrastructure.
It has also been granted access to the FAST-Infra Label Access Programme — a unique initiative that helps impactful projects move from intention to certification. Backed by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and FAST-Infra Label, the programme provides repayable grants to cover the cost of the independent verification process required to obtain the Verified Label. This early-stage support is especially valuable for projects in lower-income settings, where liquidity is often limited. By easing the path to verification, the programme helps amplify projects’ credibility, visibility, and appeal to sustainability-focused investors.
Thanks to this support, Resilience Energy’s project is well-positioned to demonstrate strong environmental and social benefits across key areas, including:
- Climate Change Mitigation
- Pollution Prevention
- Resources & Circularity
- Resilience & Adaptation
- Human & Labour Rights
With plans to reach 600 schools in just three years, Resilience Energy is making a powerful case for how infrastructure investment can improve both lives and the environment — one school at a time.
