Power to farmers
Oklahoma’s electric cooperatives will equip homes in Guatemala to receive first-time electricity
Farmers in the mountainous region of north central Guatemala will soon have their homes and farming structures fully equipped to safely receive electricity for the first time.
Volunteers from Oklahoma’s electric cooperatives as well as from cooperatives in Colorado and Arkansas will take part in the wiring effort, which is a partnership between the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s (NRECA) philanthropic arm, NRECA International and Heifer International.
The project will consist of conducting internal wiring of approximately 200 structures and could empower as many as 1,200 farmers and their families. Together, Oklahoma’s electric cooperatives will invest in lives and bring hope to families who are in the dark.
