About Micro Power

Vision To make electricity universally accessible to everyone on our planet. Mission Statement To brighten the parts of the world where electricity does not reach by providing small energy solutions to women/families all over the world. One Family – One Micro Power Executive Summary There are 1.4 billion or 20% of the world’s population that do not have access to electricity. 85% of these people live in rural areas. (International Energy Agency, 2009). Micro Power aims to enable those people without power to have access to it. Connection to a source of electricity leads to better education, a link to information, a potential new business, light to see and cook food, and a brighter future. We will initially provide a source of electricity to the people who live in rural areas of the world via the ‘Wonder Pot’. The ‘Wonder Pot’ creates electricity from fire using a special thermo-modular ceramic. Here is an example of it in action, a mother in northern Uganda cooks her beans, while doing so the pot creates electricity, enough for her to light her kitchen, charge her phone and allow her daughter to study. Micro Power will focus on the following: 1. Making the Wonder Pot available on the market where the need is greatest for it. We will initially focus on East Africa and Bangladesh. 2. Setting up a web based donation system so that the pot can be delivered to those people whose need is greatest but don’t have the funds to buy it. Our idea based around KIVA.org system and will involve carbon offsetting. 3. Partnerships with NGOs and local organisations to solve their electricity problems for their in-country projects. E.g. e-agriculture and e-health projects. 4. Marketing the ‘Wonder Pot’ as a source of income, focusing on the mobile phone charging industry. We will work with local micro-finance institutions in relation to this.
