Electrifying remote Guatemalan villages
We take electricity for granted. But many families in remote Guatemalan villages live the simplest of lives. They endure extreme hardships. Through Project Indiana, Indiana's electric cooperatives are empowering global communities one village at a time.
Since 2012, Indiana electric co-ops have banded together to electrify remote villages in Guatemala. In the end, it’s not only light that Project Indiana brings — it’s life. Hope. Progress. Opportunities. And it brings full circle what happened in the 1930s here in rural Indiana — people working together to light a community, one pole at a time, to make a better life.
Mission Statement
To help rural Guatemala advance as rural Indiana did in the 1930s by adopting villages, bringing them electric power, and supporting them as they form electric cooperatives that enable them to enjoy a better way of life.
How you can help
Building sustainable change is one of the foundations for Project Indiana - not just a "one-and-done" effort. Indiana's electric cooperatives will return every other year to further energize this region. In addition, businesses, individuals, organizations, and communities across Indiana will be able to support the ongoing efforts of Project Indiana.
