Akon to provide electricity for one million African households….

Senegalese-American singer and producer, Akon is set to bring electricity to millions of African households, through a project tagged ‘Akon lighting Africa’ – aimed at redressing the problem of power in sub-Saharan Africa.

The project will provide electricity and promote energy sufficiency in the continent.

 “The lack of electricity is currently a major problem in Africa. A significant number of households in rural areas and even urban cities do not have access to electricity. This is a real obstacle to Africa’s Sustainable Development.” reads the website for the campaign.

The 40-year-old successful and influential musician is partnering with Azuri Technologies to support the installation of solar equipment in households, which will provide good access to better and stable electricity to the people.
