Project Summary / Description:

Nuestra Energia implements solar energy systems at orphanages, shelters, schools, and clinics in Peru through a 1-to-1 cost-share structure. Reforesta Calca is a reforestation program located in the region of Cusco, Peru.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Our work centers climate solutions in communities that are often excluded from the climate movement—Indigenous, rural, and economically vulnerable populations in Peru and around Latin America. By providing access to clean energy, we reduce monthly institutional energy costs while lowering greenhouse gas emissions, increasing economic stability and climate resilience.
In parallel, our large-scale reforestation projects in indigenous regions of the Sacred Valley actively engage local communities through volunteer teams of up to 500 people, including women, youth, and elders. These initiatives generate local employment, shared environmental stewardship, and intergenerational participation. All projects are community-driven, implemented with local municipalities and Indigenous organizations, and led on the ground by Peruvian engineers and community members.
