On assignment for Azuri Technologies. I travelled across western Kenya to interview off-grid or customers with accessibility issues, to determine the efficacy of solar quads or TVs installed in their homes. The interviews were designed to determine both quantitative and qualitative metrics– whether these solar products have allowed for financial betterment or improvements in home life.
//Findings ranged from more flexible study-time for children, the convenience of charging mobile devices at home rather than kiosks, and even general health and mental well-being. Solar lanterns mean freedom from toxic, outdated paraffin lamp fumes while connectivity increased one’s capacity to conduct business remotely.
