Ben and Tadhg's Peru Volunteering Fundraiser

Hello and welcome to our fundraiser page!
We're Tadhg and Ben, two Energy Engineers from Ireland. In August 2024, we're volunteering with the NGO EcoSwell in the Talara province of Peru.
Life In Talara
Imagine living without electricity. For 1.5 million Peruvians, this is their reality. That's nearly three times the population of Dublin City! For those who have electricity, constant blackouts and soaring energy costs increase their hardship.
Water scarcity compounds these challenges, with some households receiving a mere 6 hours of water per week. To cook, many families resort to open fires, exposing loved ones to harmful smoke and respiratory illnesses.
Our Mission: Energy, Water, Health
During our three-week stint in Talara, we're rolling up our sleeves to implement low cost and high impact solutions that will transform lives:
- Electrifying homes for the first time with solar PV systems.
- Building solar backup power systems in medical centers to safeguard essential services during outages.
- Constructing seawater desalination plants and modern cookstoves with proper ventilation to improve air quality and public health.
Your Impact: Join Our Journey
We can't do this alone. Your donations will upgrade the quality of life for the people of the Talara Province, providing essential services that many of us take for granted.
Follow our journey on Instagram (@ben.ralph and @tadhgcrowley) for updates, fundraising events, and to find out how your contribution is making a difference.

Thank you so much for your support,
Tadhg and Ben
