  • Light(bulb) project -Kenya style

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evans_Wadongo

    Evans Wadongo is a Kenyan engineer, the Executive Director and Chairman of SDFA-Kenya, and one of CNN's top ten heroes of 2010. He is a graduate in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in Kenya.

    Evans designed a solar lamp which he calls ‘MwangaBora (Swahili for "Good Light") in 2004 as a way to address poor education, climate change, health and poverty in rural areas in Kenya. Evans named the entire project ‘Use Solar, Save Lives’ as he aimed to use solar technology as a way to save lives in the poor communities he grew up in.
