the AFRICAN ENERGY Project 

"The elders have a saying: you cannot give up on God while there is still light."

Between February and March 2016, I spent a month reporting in Ghana with my friends and reporting partners Marisa Schwartz-Taylor and Kevin Taylor. The African Energy Project explores issues of energy inefficiency in Ghana and homegrown innovations in alternative energy that could set an example for the rest of the content and the planet.

The reporting project was supported by an Innovation in Development Reporting Grant from the European Journalism Centre; you can find the project page here.
