Energy Brigades for Big Families
Hungary

Hungarian Energy Brigades trained members of the Big Families Network. This self-help organisation supports big families. Many of them live in poor circumstances. Richer families pay double price for the insulation materials - and make it possible for poor families to take insulation measures against almost no cost.

The training was done in the office of the Big Families Network.

The Big Family Network appointed an own co-ordinator after a successful pilot project, enabling the Hungarian Energy Brigades co-ordination to move on to other project.
