Come on a Tecotour
Imagine building a windmill from recycled car parts, and installing it in a rural village without electricity. Imagine constructing a water filter and providing clean water to a school. You can do that and more on a AIDG Tecotour.
A TecoTour is not just another chance to travel. On a TecoTour, you'll roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, and help us make a meaningful impact on a rural community.

Intern with the AIDG
Are you smart, motivated, and enthusiastic? Well, the AIDG needs you! We are currently expanding our internship program in Guatemala where our business incubation model is in full swing. Our mission is to promote the use of appropriate (read affordable, environmentally sound, and locally repairable) technologies in developing countries. We are looking for interns to assist our incubated business, XelaTeco. We are currently seeking:
- Engineering students and professionals to aid in the design, fabrication, installation, and/or marketing of appropriate technology products (e.g. windmills, solar PV/thermal systems, recycling processes, composting toilets, hydroelectricity, water filters, rain capture system, bicycle-powered devices, etc.)
- Students and professionals with experience in the creation of marketing and educational materials or accounting and business strategies.
Fluency in Spanish is not required though many interns concurrently study Spanish at the abundant and inexpensive Spanish schools in Xela.
For more information regarding this internship, please go to our Internship pages in our education section. To apply, please send a cover letter and resume internships at aidg dot org with the subject title INTERNSHIP. Thank you for your interest!
Roughly 2 billion people do not have access to basic services such as electricity, clean drinking water and sanitation. Development of this infrastructure is essential to breaking the cycle of poverty in developing countries.
You can help change that. Get involved with AIDG.
