Why? (greater purpose statement)
Develop 100% sustainable villages with involved stakeholders
Creates platform/ ‘seed’ for whole village projects
Builds up political support → easier access to financial support
Create awareness on RE
Inspiring examples from own country e.g. movies, Real life examples close by e.g. schools
Workshops/ meetings for villagers on good examples in own language
Eradicate poverty via access to energy & rural electrification with renewable energy (RE)
Because: many + for environment & local economy, power supply in villages very erratic
But: big upfront investments in RE
