Education is an essential portion of every person’s life. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same access to high quality education. This is especially prevalent in developing countries in Africa the Middle East, and Asia, and has been an issue in quite some time.
The Lake Turkana Wind Power Project is one of the largest onshore wind farms in Africa. Located in Loiyangalani District, in Marsabit County, Kenya, the wind farm will have a total installed capacity of 310 megawatts when finished, able to power up to a million homes. The farm is anticipated to reduce carbon emissions significantly, as wind energy does not produce carbon emission (except when calculated over a wind power life cycle). As far as salvaging our planet goes, says Sanjeev Mansotra, the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project can serve as a great poster child of how Africa can play a part in championing world-saving renewable energy.
One-fourth of the world’s population has no electricity, according to research published in the SAPIENS journal. Of those who have no access to electricity worldwide, 90 percent are in rural areas of developing countries.
The practice of using machinery in whole or part to mechanize the work of farm work — otherwise known as agricultural mechanization — is on the rise in Africa and many other parts of the planet
While climate change and pollution are core issues across the planet, they are especially critical in Africa. According to statistics published by the United Nations’ Environment Assembly, across low-income countries in Africa more than 25 percent of all deaths are attributable to environmental causes, such as infections, parasitic illnesses, and nutritional deficiencies. And with respect to climate change, extreme droughts, floods and storms continue to batter the African continent; which is even more devastating considering that 70 percent of the population grows their own food to some extent.
Extreme weather triggered by climate change and rampant, in some cases fatal levels of pollution are threatening to do more than diminish core economic growth: in some developing regions in Africa, where one in four people are undernourished, the situation is life-threatening.
