How are those thoughts coming thus far? the ameripean mentioned working for microsoft and something else...my main question was where did the seed money come from? personal wealth? investors?
If resources weren't an issue, It would be (relatively) easy to do this, but that's a biiiiiiig if.

I'm still researching it.  The key is finding a quality battery charger and one that will charge AA and D batteries which I understand to be the most used batteries in Ghana,  mostly for flashlights and radios.    Notice in the video that he has numerous battery chargers.  I'm not sure what his electrical source is but that is also factor.

You can use a  solar station to power the charging station.
