EcoSwell is a multiple award winning non-profit located in Lobitos, a surfing paradise of northern Peru. Students who have participated in EcoSwell's volunteering programme have described their experience as life altering and transformational. The organization focuses on helping vulnerable communities in Peru develop sustainably by carrying out infrastructure projects, socio-environmental and educational initiatives, thus implementing the United Nations SDGs.

Many of the areas we work in face frequent power outages and high energy costs, which affect the well-being and development of the communities we help. EcoSwell’s renewable energy projects aim to solve these problems, and those of other similar places in Peru, by offering clean and affordable energy that reaches the most vulnerable groups.

As a volunteer intern, you will have the chance to join us in various renewable energy initiatives, such as:

- UPS + Solar systems for medical centres
- Solar systems for off-grid homes & communities
- Solar distillers for water purification
- Improved cookstoves for health and environmental sustainability
- Energy consultations for energy efficiency
