We Power Communities
Our Organization
WindAid Institute is an American and Peruvian nonprofit organization dedicated to providing renewable energy technology to communities who do not have access to electricity in rural Peru. We engineer solutions to this problem by harnessing wind energy to provide a clean and reliable source of electricity. WindAid also serves as an educational institute that hosts learning workshops for hands-on training in wind turbine fabrication and welcomes students from all over the world.
Our Work
WindAid works to electrify rural and remote parts of Peru by donating small-scale wind turbine and solar systems to families who do not have access to the grid. We provide basic lighting and phone charging capabilities to help families stay connected to the modern world.
