People and Technology Fighting Poverty in Peru

Imagine lighting your entire home with a single kerosene lantern or cooking dinner on a campfire in your kitchen. Amazingly, over half the people in the world do not have access to safe, healthy, and affordable products to meet their basic needs for these simple tasks. As a result, billions of people suffer from preventable illnesses, deplorable living conditions, and energy poverty. There are however hundreds of affordable products that can safely meet people's daily needs, save them money, and conserve the environment. This six minute documentary reveals the daily struggles of indigenous Peruvians and shows how one social business, PowerMundo LLC, is working to connect impoverished people to a network of sustainable resources. PowerMundo is a mission based business whose goal is to use clean technology to improve people's lives, create new jobs, and conserve natural resources.
