One of its flagship initiatives,
Energía para Todos (Energy for All), has brought safe and clean electricity to over 400 people in 33 rural communities in Linares, Montemorelos, China, Doctor Arroyo, General Zuazua, and Monterrey. This has been made possible through the installation of solar photovoltaic systems and ongoing technical and social support that fosters community ownership, energy efficiency, and environmental stewardship.
