Overbruggen van de digitale kloof

"It’s hard to imagine a day without the internet, let alone without electricity. While we happily check up on favorite blogs, email our friends and work through our virtual companies about two billion people don’t even have access to electricity. In many developing countries solar energy is an abundant natural resource. Harnessing this resource can vastly improve the quality of rural life. Since its inception in 1990, the non-profit Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF), has launched solar household lighting projects in eleven countries, demonstrating that decentralized photovoltaic systems can be used to affordably electrify remote villages and even help bridge the digital divide."
