Community

 

It takes a village to raise a child. But what happens when the village needs someone to raise them up? What happens when an entire geographic region, an archipelago of Carribean islands, needs help? Gabriel was brought up by his neighbors in Puerto Rico. And now, along with several friends from college, he’s been building a new village to help his home.

 

Together, bit by bit, we’ve formed partnerships with individuals, companies, and whole communities across the world to build a larger movement. This page highlights some of our partners who have given their time, money, and ideas to build and power Energise Puerto Rico.
