International Impact Stories

Partnership is central to the mission of GRID Alternatives and IGS is a great example of what a true partner looks like. A leader in delivering energy solutions to residential and commercial customers, IGS is one of GRID’s largest supporters of our International Program. Their multi-year support has enabled GRID to deepen our impact by bringing clean energy, clean air and clean water to more people in Nicaragua, Nepal and Mexico.

With the installation of a 10kW solar system at Casa Hogar Ebenezer in 2017, the home has been saving hundreds of dollars on their electricity bills every month, with impacts that include the construction of additional dormitories and facilities for the children and staff who live at the home, availability of funds for emergencies and higher quality clothing and food for residents, and confidence building for the older children from the home who participated in the installation and have been in charge of maintaining the system itself.
