We Power Communities

Our Organization

WindAid Institute is an American and Peruvian nonprofit organization dedicated to providing renewable energy technology to communities who do not have access to electricity in rural Peru. We engineer solutions to this problem by harnessing wind energy to provide a clean and reliable source of electricity. WindAid also serves as an educational institute that hosts learning workshops for hands-on training in wind turbine fabrication and welcomes students from all over the world.
