I recently came across an innovative social venture taking place in Accra, Ghana. Ben Markham, founder of Empower Playgrounds, with help from 15 BYU students is installing merry-go-rounds power generators at poor schools in Ghana.
The concept is brilliant in its simpleness. Providing the children with recreational diversion and using their abundance of energy to store power for the school. The organization plans to install 8 generators this year.
This is another great example of how the social venture movement is changing the world. To learn more about Empower Playgrounds visit their website at empowerplaygrounds.org
