VOICED : Swings and roundabouts: powering rural Ghana through play

The video discusses a project in Ghana where children's play on specially designed playground equipment generates energy to power batteries for school and home use. The initiative, led by Empower Playgrounds, aims to provide sustainable energy solutions to remote schools. Additionally, a solar energy project allows locals to recharge batteries for home lighting and electrical equipment. Frequent power cuts in Ghana highlight the need for such sustainable solutions. These projects not only reduce reliance on polluting fuels but also enhance educational opportunities for children.

How have the energy schemes impacted the local community in terms of social life?

What environmental benefits do the new energy options provide for the children?
