YOU CAN HELP POWER A COMMUNITY

In August, linemen will embark on a trip to Guatemala to bring power to the people of Alta Verapaz, a community located in the north-central part of Guatemala. NRECA International teams up with Heifer International to illuminate these homes. By improving electric service, internet access, and water supply, communities will be better equipped for local agricultural efforts and business productivity.

Show your support and help the local families by donating today.

Myriad dark sky efforts to minimize light pollution are active across the globe and it starts with minimal nighttime lighting and avoiding fixtures that are unshielded or cast light upwards.
