Visiting the MicroHydro Projects of Robert Mutsaers

The link for the project in Kenya

Power station under construction


The dam for another hyrdo power station



Walking through tea plantations to reach the river

Tomatoes on the move

Riding around Africa-style in the back of a rickety old jeep on terrible roads

The river that will help bring electricity to hundreds of households



The river has a capacity to support 3 inlet pipes into the power station...politics and locals stealing money has stunted this particular micro-hydro station.






Robert with students and professors from Canada who are helping to evaluate the project by conducting community studies on demand and acceptability and the anthropological affects of now being able to buy light bulbs and electric fans.
