Engaging Women
Eagle Energy’s Women’s Energy Project works with Navajo women to train them to become successful clean energy advocates and entrepreneurs. Women entrepreneurs fight poverty by gaining expertise in new technologies and developing new business models.

This enables women to generate income for their families and to serve the daily needs of their communities, helping others transition away from expensive fossil fuel-based energy sources.
The Navajo Women’s Energy Project is funded via an Outreach Grant from the University of Colorado, and guided by professors Beth Osnes, Sarah Krakoff, and Francy Milner, professors of theatre and dance, law, and business, respectively.
