Clean energy at the heart of Amazonia
The journey of light continues into the depths of the Amazon basin where, thanks to acciona.org, the nights are no longer so obscure. Domestic photovoltaic systems are transforming the lives of the inhabitants of the jungle. More reading hours for the young ones, better health for all, and more community. And with light, the night’s surprises can hide no more.
