I actually do need electricity very often. And that's why I am looking into investing in solar energy as that is more reliable than the electricity from the grid.
I really have not heard of any NGOs or international initiatives that offer grants here and actually work. People just have to find their own way around here. But of course, I am open to finding anyone of them. I am more interested in sourcing funds on my own and getting the solar energy system done as quickly as I can.
Maybe take a look at this NGO: SolarAid
I haven't looked at the site, so I don't know how they work. In any case, you're right to make it one of your priorities. I think it's really important to become as self-sufficient as possible and avoid relying too much on the government to do things: like having access to electricity for example.
