Electricity powers our refrigerators, our laptops, our lights, and so much more, yet we often take it for granted. For many of us, it’s hard to imagine what life without electricity would look like, but it’s the only life people living in La Cuchilla have ever known. On Monday, August 17, we are asking YOU to help us Power the Change, bringing electricity to La Cuchilla by donating $10 and then asking 10 others in your community of friends, family, and coworkers to do the same.
Having power for the first time will give people in La Cuchilla access to necessities such as lights and refrigeration, and will also give people access to opportunity: better education, better health, better jobs. Meet just a few of the many people in La Cuchilla who will benefit from your generosity. Read their stories below, then make a small donation that can make a huge difference.
