NRECA International, based in Arlington, VA, is a non-profit organization that has been empowering communities worldwide since 1962 by providing access to safe, reliable, and affordable electricity. With a focus on both on-grid and off-grid electrification projects, they promote the electric cooperative model to deliver electricity to rural areas in developing countries. Through charitable donations and the support of American electric cooperatives, NRECA International works to improve the quality of life for millions of people by bringing reliable power to their communities.
With a commitment to community empowerment, NRECA International believes that reliable and affordable electricity is the foundation for better healthcare, improved education, economic growth, and safer streets. They engage volunteers, including electric co-op directors, lineworkers, engineers, and managers, to bring first-time access to electricity and train local utilities to be sustainable in their own communities. By partnering with organizations and individuals, NRECA International continues to make a significant impact in countries such as Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Bolivia, and many others.
