Micro-turbines

Three micro-turbines installed in three rivers on Saipu’s wide slope brought electric light to the houses of the village for the first time; these are divided into three separate sectors.

Each house was given the opportunity to plug in four light bulbs; the community also decided to utilize unused electricity during the day to run some computers at school.

The micro-power plants were co-funded by Kam For Sud (25%), along with the Nepalese government (50%), the district authority (10%) and the villagers themselves who made a whip-round (15%).
