Women change sustainable energy sector in Honduras

People here migrate a lot due to climate change and unemployment. When this project started, I was about to move to the United States because I felt that I had reached the limit, I could not continue.

What we are trying to do through Belén Solar is spread the message to recycle, to use natural resources carefully, and to reduce the burning of forests.

Women are not the weaker sex. On the contrary, we are the strongest people. We can carry out the work, and we do it in the same way.

Marlen wants to be an example, showing other women that they too can open their own businesses and become financially independent. She hopes to see more women in professions and sectors, where they were previously excluded from. She believes that the Belén group will show what women are capable to achieve in the sustainable energy sector and beyond.
