Empower Guatemalan Women With Woven Windmills
Guatemala
Women and Girls
Problem: Artisan women in Guatemala earn less than $2.00 per day weaving textiles. Solution: Women weave textiles and then form them into high efficiency wind turbine blades. High value turbine blades create good paying jobs and clean renewable energy. University of Michigan BLUELab Engineering students are working with a local Guatemalan womens weaving coop to pioneer this new empowering technology. Guatemala has the wind, the need and the capacity to support up to 8 wind co-ops.
