Strawberries of the Winds

We understand the importance of strengthening and enhancing rural economies. Therefore, we identify and measure the needs of small rural economies, and we design and install wind power systems to enhance their activities. Currently, we are focused on five representative activities of the rural world: alternative tourism; small-scale goat and sheep production; horticultural production; sheep production; and goat leather goods.

Working in the provinces of Salta, Cordoba, Rio Negro and Chubut.

Recognized by the Embassy of the Czech Republic! Our "Strawberries of the Wind" Project triumphs in the call for Development Cooperation Projects 2023.

UNDP chose us as a model organization! "Argentine duo empowers remote communities to build low-cost, patent-protected wind turbines to generate sustainable, affordable and reliable energy."

Kelleñ Kuruf: wind energy for the development of the Patagonian Steppe Video with Bayer

We have concluded the first sustainable horticulture projects in Patagonia: Kelleñ Kuruf - Frutillas del Viento is born! Renewable energies to boost the development of Mapuche communities in Patagonia: access to water for sustainable family farming. With the support of the Swiss Embassy, the Embassy of New Zealand and the Bayer company.

Local Replication Hubs

The installation of competencies and capacities at the local level has proven to be the key to success in decentralized rural electrification experiences. Therefore, we promote the creation of local groups for the replication of technologies. Thus, in 2018 the Emprendimiento eólico de Cholila emerged, a project oriented to: the manufacture and installation of wind turbines in community social projects -schools, rural health centers, small producers-; the commercialization and maintenance of wind turbines and other renewable technologies; training and knowledge transfer activities; and the research and development of open patent technologies at the service of the community. This is a comprehensive undertaking whose backbone is to generate sustainable responses to the social demands of isolated rural communities: access to electricity and water for domestic and productive uses.

We launched the "Science and Technology against Hunger" project in Chubut together with INTA Esquel! We installed an efficient water management system with renewable energy to promote family farming in Mapuche communities in Patagonia.

Technical School x Rural School

We created links between the urban and rural worlds through their schools. We manufactured the wind turbine in a local technical institution, teaching teachers and students, and installed it in collective work days with the community in a rural school without electricity. We trained end users in the use and maintenance of the wind turbine.

Project - El Morro After being selected in the 2020 CONSTRUIR COMUNIDAD call from the Acindar Foundation, we began with the management of the project, and we are just a few steps away from being able to start with the activities.
