Rwandan man powers entire community with hydroelectric energy - Fed up with the perennial darkness in his village, Israel Habimana sold his land and used the money to build a mini-hydroelectric power station

Today, Habimana’s power plant supplies 221 households and 25 businesses in five villages. And at least 300 homes and businesses are waiting to receive electricity from the plant.

Since the arrival of electricity in the area, new businesses have sprung up, changing many people’s lives. “Before the arrival of electricity, I could not finish one door a day, which caused backlogs and delays. Now, I finish more than ten doors or windows a day. Israel’s infrastructure has been the key to opening up many activities,” said Sindikubwabo. “First of all, we are very happy with these kinds of people who are taking initiatives, finding financing and overcoming difficulties. In this specific area of Kirehe, when he started about three or four years ago, this was much needed.
