For hundreds of thousands of poor households, accessing electricity is a big problem and they are often cut off from the grid as they are unable to pay their bills and fines. Roma students, with the mentorship of an organisation, developed a cheap form of access to electricity that uses a solar-charged panel that is easy to install and covers the demand for lighting for 5-6 hours and the charging of one mobile phone. With crowdfunding they installed this for 40 families in one village and a few others have taken over the innovation.
