In the Western countries people can’t stand it when the power fails, though in Third world countries people have managed to live with power outage on a daily basis.
Don’t think they’re using led light technology though, the led lightbulbs are cheaper in usage, but more expensive to purchase.

Hope to read more about such projects!

I have goosebumps after reading the story!
We take the use of power for granted in many countries, and don’t realise how it affects people in third world countries.
the blog didnt mention if they were using LED light technology or not!
