At an international partners meeting in Madrid, EWWBNA President Chris Erikson proposed including North American tribal nations to EWWBNA’s geographic outreach. Shortly after, a volunteer from Local 1249 Syracuse, and a member of Onondaga Nation, connected EWWBNA to Navajo Nation, leading to a partnership with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) to field volunteers to the reservation to assist with home wiring and service connections.

Just prior to the onset of COVID, EWWBNA had planned to send a team of volunteers to Peru to help with the electrical needs of an order of Catholic nuns focused on assisting disadvantaged women and children. Unfortunately, this mission was postponed along with other EWWBNA projects at the time.
