Help us make a difference by supporting our Youth Trade Skills Program and Solar Installation project.
One World Cacao is thrilled to collaborate with Familia Utz Corazon to support solar installation in San Marcos La Laguna.
This service will provide indigenous families in San Marcos La Laguna with Solar electricity.
We have preselected families that will most benefit from this project….identifying those without any electricity.
Familia Utz Corazon has already successfully installed the first solar unit. The family of 6, living in a 2 room block house, told us that for 3 years they have lived without electricity. Every night they allow one candle to be lit costing them around 80 cents, this being a luxury.
Now this family will have light in both rooms and also in their outdoor kitchen/bathroom. In addition, they were pleasantly surprised to find that included in the kit is a radio and cables to charge a cell phone. This brought a large smile in particular to the younger daughter.
Contributions will allow solar installations to continue for families in need. Thank you to all those that continue to support our programs in San Marcos La Laguna!
