The Farm's largest single line-item monthly expense is the power bill. Due to soaring energy prices, the cost of electricity has become unsustainably-burdensome, and – in a country rife with corruption – the Honduran government is failing to protect its citizens from excessive costs.
Additionally, despite the high cost of power in Honduras, it is extremely unreliable. Several times a week, the power grid supplying the Farm with energy shuts down. These scheduled and unscheduled outages last anywhere from minutes to entire days. Having access to consistent, inexpensive, clean energy will truly be a game-changer. With the money saved on electricity, the Finca could better support current programs and expand its services to meet new needs. Join us by donating to this important project! Our goal is to have the project fully-funded by the end of October 2019, and to have the system up and running by next summer. Once it is functional, this system will save the Farm more than $10,000 per year on energy costs, paying for itself in four years (conservatively). Needless to say, we are eager to get started! We are so close to reaching our fundraising goal! Help us by donating now!
