Three quarters of Africa has no mains electricity, and disposable batteries are prohibitively expensive. It's more than a matter of modern convenience. Without radio or television, people can't access news or health information. Without phones they have no communication. Without light, children can't do their homework. Often, all that's needed is a means of marrying new technology with traditional power sources. This was the premise behind Freeplay's wind-up radios and torches, which use manual effort to drive an electronic device.
