On Tuesday, the Konvict boss, Akon, as well as co-founders Samba Bathily, a Malian
businessman, and Thione Niang, a political activist, will meet with
Rwandan officials in order to ascertain what the progress is with his
initiative.
In addition to Rwanda, the award-winning artist will also be traveling to
nine other African countries for similar assessments.
Akon Lighting Africa Solar Power Initiative was launched last
February as a grassroots solution to the continent’s energy
challenges.
With his program, Akon is providing solar-powered electricity to
African villages. So far, he has established his program in 14 African
states.
By the end of 2016, Akon reportedly plans to extend his solar reach
to 11 additional countries.
After handling his business, Akon and his colleagues will visit the
Kigali Genocide Memorial.
