The Lighting Africa Project:
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/lighting_africa.php

In Sub-Saharan Africa, over 500 million people presently lack modern energy, with rural electricity access rates as low as 2%. Among the poor, lighting is often the most expensive item among their energy uses, typically accounting for 10-15% of total household income. Yet, while consuming a large share of scarce income, fuel-based lighting provides little in return.

Africa and Sustainability:
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/08/africa_the_worl.php

n a society where the work being done by every electron is compared carefully to the sweat-of-brow alternative, it’s interesting to review what tech gadgetry is accepted. And, what is not. This is particularly so when one realizes that there are a billion Africans to support, with only 4 percent of the world’s electricity supply. So, what is appropriate; cell phones seem to be, as nearly every African that wants one has one.
