CHANGE THAT LASTS
In summer 2021 we conducted an in-depth 27-site program evaluation of energy and water projects that we installed with partners between 2009 and 2019. We were thrilled to find that 97% of the 27 sites are still fully operational.

Welcome, Leona Wai, Malaysia Program Coordinator! 👏

Leona supports our local partner work in Malaysia, focusing on community watershed management and community-based renewable energy systems.
About 1.9 billion people do not have the resources to maintain sanitation practices around the world. 💧
To address this, FEDICAMP and Green Empowerment facilitated access to adequate sanitation for 100% of the households in the community of El Mojón, Nicaragua.
All households received a Flushed latrine and were trained in the use and maintenance of the sanitation units.
This successful project was possible thanks to funding from @meal_a_day_americas!

Today is #WorldWaterDay 💧
Access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene is the most basic human need for health and well-being. Billions of people will lack access to these basic services in 2030 unless progress quadruples.
Our projects support Sustainable Development Goal 6️⃣: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

Our work started in Nicaragua in 1997.
Happily in the last two decades Latin America has seen huge success in advancing energy access, so our work with partners has shifted. Today, we focus on community-scale water projects as well as tackling electrification for dispersed rural communities that have been left behind, like in Los Limones.

We recently concluded the final part of our Technical Exchange with our new partner ASATENCUDI in Tena, Cundinamarca, Colombia, where we:
💧 Visited four water systems and engaged in discussions with representatives of their water committees.
💧 Collaborated on a design exercise to identify opportunities for infrastructure and organizational improvements.
We are grateful to our partners from Ecuador, @engimecuador and @altropico_ec, for bringing fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to our collaboration with ASATENCUDI. Their contributions were invaluable in developing effective strategies to improve water systems in the region. 🙌🌎
In our first 25 years, we reached over 500,000 people with clean water and renewable energy infrastructure solutions that last – supporting poverty alleviation and building climate resilience in rural communities across the globe. 🙌🌎
Together with our partners, we aim to reach an additional 200,000 people in the next three years.
Green Empowerment team members from around the globe converge in Uganda! 🌍
This week they visited a community with new prospective partner @thewatertrust - to strategize on the possibility of converting this borehole hand pump into a piped water system.
💚 Love seeing this team of experts in action 💚

Women are often the voice of change in the community. They fight for their families, and advocate for what is right.
Green Empowerment is inspired daily by our female colleagues and the women in the communities where we work. As an organization, we are committed to supporting these amazing women by providing them with tools and resources to empower themselves and their daughters.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay to the remarkable women we are so grateful to know and work with around the world. 🌎💚
