Our International Partners provide the foundation for all of our projects.
Currently Green Empowerment has projects in:
Nicaragua , where we are working with two local nonprofit groups to bring electricity, potable water, and watershed protection to more than 7,000 Nicaraguan villagers, in a country where almost half the country has no electricity.
Burma, where we have provided solar power for medical clinics that serve about 50,000 indigenous Burmese internally displaced people who live in the war-torn border areas of Burma, and depend on these remote, spartan clinics for treatment of landmine injuries, infections, and all their medical needs. We are working to expand the number of clinics with electricity in 2005.
Guatemala, where we've supported a local group in the construction of a micro-hydropower plant owned and operated by the local Ixil-speaking villagers, and we are looking to implement more projects to expand the availability of electricity and potable water in a country where 60 percent of the people have no access to electricity.
Malaysia, where we have worked with indigenous peoples to implement micro-hydro power projects to bring electricity to remote villages.
Philippines, where we are supporting two local groups in their quest to bring self-sufficiency, capacity-building and basic services (water and electricity) to numerous villages over the next five years.
Ecuador, where we have completed projects to protect the environment of the Galapagos Island through implementation of solar power. We are also partnering with a local group to bring electricity using solar power to two isolated Shuar villages this year, and 32 indigenous Amazonian villages over the next five years.
Peru, where we are helping to bring electricity to schools, community centers, and clinics in 9 villages.
The Asian Network is a project to strengthen a consortium of community-based organizations developing renewable energies in Asia.
