A young and promising 14-year-old boy has been praised for providing electricity for many homes in his village of Borana zone, Southern Ethiopia.
Adan Hussein Dida, a grade eight student in Tula Web primary school, revealed that he did the project to reduce the suffering of the villagers who lack basic amenities like roads, hospitals,s, and electricity.
Adan began the project from his parent’s backyard where he decomposes animal waste inside a two-meter deep hole which enables him to generate enough electricity for eight houses.
He disclosed to newsmen that he charges each house a sum of $0.87 per month.
The locals who mainly depend on animal rearing for their survival, have been steeped into poverty after bad weather which resulted in a serious water scarcity that ravaged the region.
Adan’s family uses the money raised from his electricity project to support his education and their general survival.
