More and more people are gaining access to electricity - Beautiful News Daily: 2019-12-28

Beautiful News Daily - December 28th, 2019 - More and more people are gaining access to electricity (Narrated by Amy)

Electricity is essential for everything and a yardstick for decreasing poverty. Today it’s finally reaching places like rural India, Bangladesh and Kenya.

(In Indonesia, 98% of the population have access to electricity. Thirty years ago it was just 62%.)

Now the number of people without electricity is well below one billion. That’s a record. There’s still huge work to do, particularly in Africa. But it’s possible the UN goal of electricity-for-all-by-2030 might just be met.
