I am very interesting in the kind of knowledge you passed on to the community in Banda.
Did you teach them to build a turbine from scratch or did you use an existing AC turbine from another machine?
Also why did you pay them to develop the micro-hydro project. Usually project fail because payment was introduced and when payment ceases, there is little incentive to maintain the project.
Not a criticism, just an insight. Would love to hear more.
