The project is comprehensive: the installation of the water heaters is complemented by training that helps improve the quality of life of the communities, empower their leaders and build social capital. The expectations for this year are focused on reaching more institutions and thus generating a greater positive impact in the different communities.

The main objective of the action is to install innovative energy technologies through solar water heaters and this step will give continuity to the various projects for the use of renewable energy in the Patagonian region.
In this way, it complements the initiatives that the Patagonia Natural Foundation carries out to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from the decomposition of organic solid waste and by replacing the burning of fossil fuels (wood and gas) used for heating, water heating and cooking.
We are a non-governmental organization that, since 1989, has been working to achieve a better quality of life for people who live in Patagonia today and in the future, based on the protection of nature and its responsible use as an essential common good.
