Mobile Power Systems® Partners with Mega-Star AKON to bring Akon Lighting to millions of African's without electricity.
DUBAI, UAE. – Mobile Power Systems, FZC. (MPower), in collaboration with Mega-star singer and philanthropist AKON, will launch its "When Your Light Depends On It" African campaign to bring electricity to millions of Africans in need.
An estimated 1.2 billion people – 16% of the global population – did not have access to electricity according to WEO-2016, a large portion coming from the African regions. In spite of the challenges, humanitarian campaigns such as the AKON's "When Your Light Depends On It", has brought 15 million fewer than reported in the previous year!
For that we're thankful!
