Senegalese-U.S. Singer Akon Launches 'Light to Learn' in Liberia

The award-winning singer is in Liberia to promote his Akon Light Africa Project, which aims to provide a concrete response to Africa's energy crisis. Akon will personally light up the communities around J.W. Pearson Elementary School in Monrovia and Zuluyee Public School in the Ganta District of Nimba County, using solar-generated lighting technology.

Light To Learn is an initiative that highlights the positive impact of investment in Africa's sustainable power and education, and the importance of developing both sectors as they propel Liberia and the continent towards a better and brighter future.

While 80 percent of the world's population has access to electricity, only 30 percent of the African population enjoys this benefit. Today, almost 600 million inhabitants live without electricity, particularly in rural areas. In some countries such as Liberia, there is virtually no access to electricity except by petrol generators.
