Giving Back: Akon Will Provide Electricity For 1 Million Households in Africa

While your favorite musician is getting arrest, buying cars, and/or “selling out”,  Akon has partnered with Give1Project and ADS Global Corporation SA for a jaw-dropping project. Akon’s  “Akon Lighting Africa Project” tour is projected to provide electricity for 1 million households in Africa by the end of 2014.

Akon’s Lighting Africa website states,

The lack of electricity is currently a major problem in Africa. A significant number of households in rural areas and even urban cities do not have access to electricity. This is a real obstacle to Africa’s Sustainable Development.

In that perspective and within the framework of a Public-Private partnership, an alliance was signed between the private entities: Akon Corp, SOLEKTRA International – BYD Solar, Azuri Technologies UK, NARI (Member of China Grid Group), CJI, the Non-Governmental Organization Give1Project and the governments of different African nations to support the initiative.
