Floating a Solution Against Darkness in Long Pasia!
A group of civil society members from Lightup Borneo have started to help Borneo’s interior people to acquire lights since 2 years ago. Their latest creation is a first in Malaysia-a floating hydro that tap kinetic energy of flowing river to generate electricity. This design will be relevant to many interior areas where the long houses are near to rivers but not hill slopes-which conventional hydro generators depend on to generate electricity. Come to see how this creation was installed by villagers desperate for light! 1/3 of Sarawakians live in the dark since formation of Malaysia-a situation many find unconscionable!
