More than one billion people in the world don’t have access to electricity. They are using kerosene, candle or butane for lighting but these lighting principles are traditional unhealthy, hazardous and expensive. The target group will be the inhabitants of small rural communes in the Rif Mountains (Morocco).The goal is to provide a better lighting system to these communes. To replace the gas laps with batteries which are much healthier and less dangerous. These batteries will be charged by means of a pedal power device. The inhabitants of the slums will have to pedal themselves for power in a recharge center during a number of minutes while socializing. Therefore the interaction between the user and the product should be playful and motivational.
