Gaia Nature – Solar Pumping Station
In February 2019, we completed the implementation of a solar-powered water pumping system for Gaia Nature, a sustainability-focused initiative in Santo Antão. This project provides a reliable, off-grid water supply for agricultural and environmental use, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and grid energy.
