Weatherizers Without Borders develop a weatherization project in Montevideo, Uruguay.

The partnership between WWB and the Uruguayan National government started back in May 2014, when the “Inter-American Weatherization Exchange Program” was launched in Montevideo. At that time, officials and experts from Uruguay, the US, Argentina, Chile and Perú participated in a conference.

Also as part of the exchange program, sample energy audits were performed with a group of international experts.

Work continued with a project in 2 stages:

First, a pilot weatherization program was designed, the stakeholders network was created and funding was secured by an agreement between WWB and CAF.

In a second stage, a group of National Officials was trained.
