Lighting company OSRAM has initiated a project at Lake Victoria in Kenya and built a solar-powered energy station called O-hub which can be used by the villagers to recharge batteries, mobile phones and radios.
This is especially important for the fishermen as they used kerosine lamps for fishing at night. With the new battery powered lamps provided by Osram fishermen can decrease costs significantly and minimize pollution on Lake Victoria.
Although this initiative was already started in 2010 I think it is still an ample example of how sustainable solutions can improve the well being of our society.
Check out the Osram homepage for more information.
