12. Akon
Senegalese-American singer Akon has taken on a rather ambitious cause. He wants to bring solar electricity to 600 million people in across rural Africa. In 2014, the “Hold My Hand” singer founded a charity called Akon Lighting Africa in 2014. He recently opened a Solar Academy in Mali to train local people on how to use innovative technology to bring electricity to African homes and communities. With 320 days of sunshine a year, Africa is a prime continent to harness the power from the sun. Way to make a difference, Akon!
