Dear Friends,<br />
As we open new opportunities for growth, we are steadfast in our values of local leadership, sustainability,<br />
and social justice. We begin by partnering with visionary pioneers who are transforming their communities<br />
and their countries. We empower them with the tools, knowledge and resources to turn big ideas into big<br />
changes. Now, <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Empowerment</strong> is on the cusp of dramatic growth.<br />
In <strong>2011</strong> alone, we have helped thousands of people improve their lives with clean water and electricity.<br />
In these pages, you’ll read about specific projects that helped people take tangible steps out of poverty:<br />
irrigation that boosts farming income, power for small businesses, pure water for the first time, an orphanage<br />
that turns on the lights, and many more. In addition to the community projects of clean water and renewable<br />
energy, we connected grassroots leaders by establishing peer-to-peer networks and training on small<br />
wind power and biodigesters. We are also designing a curriculum on micro-hydropower, through a USAID<br />
(U.S. Agency for International Development) grant with Arizona State University, to spread our accumulated<br />
expertise to other countries around the world. While continuing to deepen our long-standing partnerships in<br />
countries where we’ve been successful, we are reaching new geographic areas, including Africa.<br />
Finally, we are excited to announce a grant from USAID to provide drinking water to 15,000 people in the<br />
Philippines, using innovative ram pump technology. As our first direct USAID grant, this marks a milestone<br />
in the growth of <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Empowerment</strong>, and demonstrates how we can leverage donations from individual<br />
supporters, like you, into life-transforming projects for thousands of people.<br />
Your contributions are essential to assist more people in the year to come.<br />
Thank you for your continued support.<br />
With gratitude,<br />

Accomplishments Building International Networks<br />
Served 1,150 people with improved access to clean<br />
water and 2,128 people with electricity in their homes,<br />
powered by renewable energy — to expand opportunities<br />
for small businesses, improve health and alleviate poverty.<br />
Assisted with the training of over 163 entrepreneurs,<br />
foreign government officials, and in-country<br />
Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) leaders in<br />
small wind, biogas, and clean water technologies<br />
so they can be even more effective in developing<br />
projects in their own countries to benefit thousands<br />
more people.<br />
Led over 50 U.S.-based university leaders and dedicated<br />
professionals on project site visits to educate, train,<br />
partner, and inspire.<br />
Over the last three years, access to water from an<br />
irrigation system enables Toño Campos to extend his<br />
growing season, and expand the crops he can cultivate<br />
to include bananas, yucca, avocados, mangos, and<br />
vegetables, in addition to staples of corn and beans.<br />

A solar water pump was installed to deliver<br />
water directly to homes in El Jocote, providing<br />
clean water to 220 people. Subsequent studies<br />
and workshops were conducted on sanitation,<br />
watershed management, and hygiene.<br />
In El Roblar, in-country partner Asofénix<br />
installed a solar mini grid project for<br />
five homes using a locally-fabricated turbine.<br />
The micro-hydro projects completed in El Plan<br />
and Bejuco bring electricity to 470 people.<br />
Cookstoves were<br />
built with families in<br />
San Jose de Bocay.<br />
The cookstoves are<br />
adapted to the<br />
needs, use and local<br />
customs to decrease<br />
smoke inhalation and related illnesses, and<br />
significantly reduce firewood consumption.<br />

Marta depended on her husband to fill buckets with water and bring them<br />
back on a mule. Since he needed to get out to the fields before the scorching<br />
heat of day, he would leave for water at 2 am. The wait for water could be<br />
long behind people waiting from neighboring communities. She described<br />
the old water source as a shallow, spring-fed hole, dug out on the side of a<br />
riverbed. Now, clean water is piped directly to her home in El Jocote.
