Green Empowerment

We are a Portland-based 501(c)3 that works with local partners to deliver renewable energy systems and safe drinking water to rural communities around the world. For over twenty years, Green Empowerment has prioritized integrated projects that improve human health, are ecologically and economically sustainable and advance social justice.

We provide a wide range of technical, organizational and financial assistance to local nonprofit partners who seek to make a long-lasting change in their communities. We engage local and regional governments and a diverse network of volunteers, universities, civic groups and businesses to expand projects, build local capacity and mobilize resources.
