How to take clean water and energy where no one goes?

07/13/2023
  • The ACCIONA foundation, acciona.org, has spent the past 15 years applying a new vision of cooperation, prioritizing relations in the communities where it works and the vocation of permanent service.
  • org foundation, or how to take clean water and energy where no one goes by ACCIONA Experience tells the story of the daily work to achieve poverty reduction through access to basic services.

As a challenge and a dream, over its 15-year history acciona.org has sought to demonstrate that renewable energies can mean access to electricity and other basic services in the most remote communities, where technical and economic obstacles appear insurmountable

The Foundation reaches the most remote places to cover the non-existent basic needs of the people who live there and to improve their Human Development. But it’s no good resolving a community’s present without thinking about its future. As such, the leitmotiv of the acciona.org foundation has always been the permanence of the communities where it is present, project sustainability, and arriving to remain.

When the acciona.org foundation launches a project, the starting point is always the same:

  • Identify the marginalized regions other entities aren’t reaching – whether that be logistically, environmentally or economically –.
  • Design a strategy to cover their needs.
  • Find ways of collaborating with the local population.

Without local involvement, without embracing a project and keeping it up, long-term viability will be compromised.
