Indian Wind Power
This project helps to develop wind farms which
provide clean, green energy to displace the
high levels of fossil fuel based energy from
India’s National Grid. Alongside energy creation
the project has helped to reduce pollution in
local areas, improving health and has provided
economic development through direct and
indirect job opportunities.

Ugandan Borehole Rehabilitation
By renovating and repairing boreholes in remote
villages across Uganda this project helps to
restore a safe clean source of drinking water for
families. As well as the natural health benefits,
not having to boil the water to make it safe to
use, reduces the amount of firewood consumed
and creates a carbon reduction.
