Through the Ruta de la Luz initiative, clean solar energy is bringing safety and opportunity to isolated rural settlements while training local women as technical leaders.
Our foundation ambassador Micaela Moretti from Signify Argentina brought this project to us through the Project In/visible initiative, sparking a collaborative effort to deliver clean, reliable energy to the isolated Puna region of Jujuy, Argentina. To implement the "Ruta de la Luz" initiative, the Signify Foundation teamed up with the EKHOS Foundation, Signify Argentina. This partnership addresses a critical energy gap in remote rural communities where families traditionally rely on candles, firewood, and polluting diesel generators. Central to this sustainable development model is the training and technical empowerment of local women. Some years ago, eight local women including Emiliana Chaparro traveled to India to train as solar technicians. Emiliana later returned to found Energía Colectiva, a women-led social enterprise that handles on-site technical tasks and installation logistics.
