I led a group of 16 students and RWE npower employees to the remote wilderness of the Brazilian rainforest. This expedition took us 4 days travel to reach the village of Nova Cachoeira, where the Kaxinawa tribe have lived for many generations. Unfortunately the village was hit by a devastating flood, which meant the village had to be relocated on higher ground. This means that the villagers have to carry water long distances to their homes, causing back and neck problems.

This expedition took us 4 days travel to reach the village of Nova Cachoeira, where the Kaxinawa tribe have lived for many generations. Unfortunately the village was hit by a devastating flood, which meant the village had to be relocated on higher ground. This means that the villagers have to carry water long distances to their homes, causing back and neck problems. They've also been working hard by candle light for years to undertake arts and crafts in the evenings. This is causing eye sight problems too. The local mayor of the nearest town (4 days up river) heard about their problems and we answered their call for help. The team travelled out to the village and brought an engineer with us and installed solar panels, which gave them a sustainable energy supply which brought them light in the evening to help with their craft works. Perhaps even more importantly we had a well dug and spent time channeling water pipes across the village, bringing a stand-pipe to each house to reduce the dozens of man hours spent collecting water each week. The project was a massive success and the team did a fantastic job. The villagers were hugely grateful and we're looking to work with the Kaxinawa tribe again next summer. I led npower’s Amazon rainforest sustainability expedition and a group of 16 students and employees. I identified the needs and objectives of the tribal leaders and to implement a solution that met their requirements, overcoming language barriers and logistical adversities presented by the remote Amazonian rainforest, paving the way for future projects by the Brazil government.Below are a few short videos I made about the project.
