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.

A bright future ahead for rural health clinics in Uganda. 💡
Nyumanzi Health Clinic is just the beginning. We are working with @medicalteams and partners to energize two additional clinics in Uganda, which will serve a combined population of 40,000 people!
We’re turning to you for support so we can continue to bring electricity to the millions of families who urgently seek medical care - 🔗 in bio.

Access to reliable electricity is vital for rural health clinics 💡🏥
Nyaker Maker is a mother of four and a recent patient at the Nyumanzi Health Clinic in Uganda. During her recent pregnancy, Nyaker felt pain, and it was discovered that she had a cyst. "I thank the doctors because they were able to discover it in time and treat it," Nyaker says.
Help us reach more moms like Nyaker Maker and illuminate a child’s first moments on earth with your gift today - 🔗 in bio.

We love to see our partners taking the initiative to innovate projects. 🙌
The community of Telembi is expanding their water treatment plant, originally installed in 2020.
Whenever a new part is needed, neighboring Zapallo's co-op hardware store has you covered.
We're thrilled to see both of these initiatives take off and support one another!

The power of electricity 💡🏥
Now with 24-hour access to electricity, the Nyumanzi Health Center is seeing improved services across the board for their 40,000 annual patients, from routine and specialized immunizations, to thermal protection for preterm babies, to communication and outpatient recording.
There are still many rural hospitals that need electricity in Uganda. Today is Giving Tuesday; consider giving the gift of electricity to the millions of families who urgently seek medical care.

This year, we have many things to be grateful for. From clean water flowing through taps in San Antonio, Nicaragua to 24 hour electricity at the Nyumanzi Health Center in Uganda to a coalition planning for renewable energy across the state of Sabah, Malaysia.
Time and again, we are inspired and humbled by the amazing things that are possible when a global community comes together to make lasting change.
Wishing you and your family a joyous Thanksgiving from the Green Empowerment Family 💚
Decolonizing development:
At Green Empowerment we believe that indigenous people know what communities need. they lead their own development and should be key decision makers in the fight against climate.
Read Green Empowerment's Executive Director, Andrea Johnson thoughts on where the @unitednations @cop27_egypt fell short and how to move forward: 🔗in bio.
How did the Nyumanzi Health Center go from receiving 2 hours of electricity daily to 24? 💡
Using Green Empowerment's DREAM Tool first to collect data and prioritize this clinic, we installed a 7.7Kwh solar system with 19Kwh battery storage and a remote monitoring system together with @medicalteams and Mandulis Energy.
Stay tuned to learn how the power of electricity has dramatically impacted a health center that sees over 40,000 patients per year.

Would you give birth via cellphone flashlight? Or undergo surgery? For many people in rural Uganda, there is no other choice.
Until this summer, the Nyumanzi Health Clinic operated on just two hours of electricity per day. However, one of Green Empowerment’s innovative tools helped @medicalteams confront this challenge and prioritize Nyumanzi Health Clinic for our first solar installation in Uganda.
Stay tuned to learn more next week!

Rainwater catchment tanks help small-holder farmers in Colombia get ahead of further climate change consequences. As the dry season intensifies, these tanks allow farmers to store water and use it year-round to water their crops.
We are so impressed by the women's savings collectives in Colombia who prioritized this project for their region and our partner El Comun who helped bring it to fruition.
