Energy poverty is more than just a lack of electricity—it’s a barrier to progress. In Zambia, where only 25% of the population has access to electricity and rural penetration falls below 5%, millions remain trapped in darkness, limiting education, healthcare, and economic development. Renewable energy solutions like solar and wind offer a lifeline, but innovative approaches are needed to bridge this gap. The ASCENT Project, launched in 2024, aims to connect 100 million people to sustainable energy by 2030. By leveraging AI, IoT, and big data, we can revolutionize energy access, empowering communities and unlocking a brighter, more equitable future for Africa.
In the bustling heart of Zambia’s Copperbelt, within the dynamic yet tumultuous Chamboli, known colloquially as “Biafra,” my dad embraced the role of a social worker after his initial career as a teacher. His transition to the ZCCM mining company marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey, leading the Youth in Chamboli initiative against a backdrop of potential unrest and youthful exuberance. Amidst challenges that could easily spiral into chaos, my dad wielded a powerful tool transcending conventional methods of conflict resolution: active listening. His ability to truly hear, understand, and empathetically engage with the community’s youth cultivated a remarkable sense of calm and order in a place nicknamed after a war-torn region. This narrative explores the profound impact of my dad’s active listening, a testament to the transformative power of genuine empathy and understanding within the complexities of human interaction and community building.
