  • This is Great....I am a Scot and I am ashamed that while the "Great British" were in India that they did not look after the ecology better....these kind of projects....spread throughout the whole world from Victoria's time till now....would mean that we would be in a sustainable environment by now....of course there were people advocating these things then ....BUT they were shouted down or voted out....TO ME TRULY the biggest economic powers...have the most responsibility to change for the best!

  • It is good to know that unity among the poor is the basis solving their own poverty.

    10% of the world,s rich people depends on the 90% poor to work and made others wealthy.

    Therefore, the Grameen is gathering the poor to help themselves out of poverty. May God bless them for their efforts.

  • I agree, grameen is doing remarkable work in these rural areas not to mention empowering women.

  • excelentwork. i am in the opinion that all villages in the world to come up like this . so that people moving to town will deminish in long term. your web address?

  • You can get all the contact details of Grameen Shakti on the Ashden Awards website - just check our profile for a link.

  • I am interested in promoting your product in my village and environs since our government has refused to give us electricity, water or road system. We have to take the bull by the horn ourselves. We need to make solar panels and connect them for electricity and also be able to assemble a solar stove for rural cooking so that villagers should stop decimating the only forests we have left. Let me know the cost of course materials.We willpay. Thanks for your assistance and may God bless. Felix.

  • If you go to our website you can look up Grameen Shakti and our other winners. There are contact details available and you can get in touch with them to ask questions.

  • I'm surprised that the "rocket stove" was not mentioned rather than the more conventional design, combine the solar with the rocket stove and you'd have the rural community of the future.

  • They are using efficient stoves now, just a different design from the Rocket (which some of our other winners have used).

    Part of the challenge in getting new stove designs accepted by people is making sure they can use them in a similar way to their existing stove.

    If the rural people in Bangladesh are used to indoor stoves low to the ground, then the design used in this video might be more acceptable than a Rocket stove.
