i Mbelli Njah Fongha, a Sawa Journalist, has written a project on how we can use renewable energy technologies on both a small and large scale to create jobs and bring developments in rural areas in developing countries.This project took path in the world bank's competition of climate chnage and in the mondialogo engineering award.It is a turn around on how we make technology useful to the rural population who have abundant resources of renewable energy technology such wind, biomass and sun.'Electrical Energy is the backbone of every society', the presence of electrical energy and electricity in rurla areas means jobs, civilisation,industries,development and consequently less emmigration to urban centers reducing the high crime rate and the presence of slumps and ghettos in urban centers.Ths helps to facilitate the development of these rural areas and bring the world to a balance scale.
we are still looking for fund to invest and make this project a reality.many people have appreciated the idea,so what can we do to make the idea grow.

Hi Mbelli,

As an environmentalist, I totally agree with you. It's the high time that we explore alternative sources of energy. I have also written several projects on Bio-gas especially targeting rural schools in Kenya and I hope I will get the much needed funding.

Also, this week I will be highlighting this topic on my blog. You can visit the site and leave a comment if you find time. The address is http://mamafrica.wordpress.com

I challenge other people and especially we the young generation to take up the initiative and venture into this promising energy sector. It really has green and potential jobs for us.
Good day.
