    • pitchHow would you start a shop in Yele, a village in rural Sierra Leone? There is no access to electricity and economic development is virtually non-existent. The local economy is very small and is threatened by the continued migration of its young workforce to the cities. Food from the harvest season can’t be stored, which causes malnutrition among the population and a lot of food that is left to waste during the hot season. Business owners cannot invest in new shops due to their low income. Project Yele promotes social and economic development through the construction of a Community Bazaar. As a central marketplace it will act as the medium through which electricity provided by the hydroelectric power plant will be converted into economic activity. As a shop owner, the Community Bazaar would offer you key facilities such as financial services, electricity, infrastructure to help you start a business in an affordable way. Training will be available to teach shop owners the skills necessary to run a shop. For a citizen of Yele, the businesses in the bazaar contribute to your health and general well-being: a supermarket with refrigeration space (perishable foods), a pharmacy (cool-store medicine), a store with cooking stoves (replaces smoke causing fires), distribution of free drinking water and public toilets. In Community Bazaar business owners and entrepreneurs can create and grow enterprises that make innovative use of the renewable electricity.
    • intent
    • impactSixteen shop owners will have access to training, electricity, refrigeration, clean drinking water and create new products and services for the community of 21,000 people in and around Yele.

    • whoweare**Paul van der Boor** is a 2nd year PhD student in the Engineering and Public Policy department of Carnegie Mellon University and holds a BS in Aerospace Engineering from Delft University of Technology. He has worked on the design of a high-altitude kite-powered energy system, and worked as a turbine design engineer for Voith Siemens Hydro Power in New Delhi. Together with Antal, he set up Project Yele and organized a 4-member expedition to Sierra Leone. Since the expedition, Project Yele has worked on refurbishing a hydroelectric power plant and on realizing the Community Bazaar. Paul has also volunteered with The Dhaka Project in Bangladesh, and participated in finding jobs for parents of children who lived in the slums. In his PhD research he focuses on user innovation in mobile banking and how this could serve as a model for development of other technologies in developing countries. **Anna Delgado** is a first-year graduate student in the Technology and Policy Program at MIT and a researcher assistant at the MIT Energy Initiative. Anna has a degree in Industrial Engineering and has participated in different international academic exchange programs. One of them is the UNITECH International Program Scholarship that aims to expose engineers to the areas of business and management in a cross-cultural environment. Before joining MIT she was working for the Agbar Group, a leading company in the water cycle business. She has also worked in India for 6 months as a business analyst and there is where she realized that she wanted to apply her technical knowledge to improve people’s life in developing countries. This summer she volunteered for the Dhaka Project in Bangladesh that aims to break the cycle of poverty in the slums of Dhaka. She set up a Wiki to improve the communication between the volunteers and taught English to the children. In the beginning of 2010 she joined Project Yele and set up a Wiki for the project. She is now helping the team to get innovative ideas for the bazaar, especially regarding involvement of the community. Two of her passions are traveling and discovering new cultures. In the last 5 years she have lived in 5 different countries. **Mauricio Gomez** is originally from Colombia but has been moving between Asia, Europe, and the Americas since childhood. He holds bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science, Japanese Language and Culture, and a minor in Political Science from Macalester College. He joined MIT’s Technology and Policy Program in 2010 after working for two years in Hong Kong as a financial software engineer. At MIT he is currently carrying research for the National Institutes of Health, developing mathematical models to understand the behavior of the scientific workforce and simulate responses to policy. As a scholar from the United World Colleges movement, he has led and participated in numerous volunteering projects across several developing countries in Southeast Asia. Mauricio’s interests lie in the implementation of technology for social and economic development, a field he recently worked on during a fellowship in rural India. Through these experiences, Mauricio hopes to bring a new and innovative perspective to Project Yele, focused around strategies aimed at maximizing social welfare through the advent of electricity. **Antal van Kolck** recently graduated with a double Masters in Applied Physics and Management of Technology and is currently working for Price Waterhouse Coopers. The business development of the project and communication are her main responsibilities. She went to Yele, Sierra Leone with Paul in 2007 and has been working for Project Yele since then. During her study at Delft University of Technology she received the UNITECH International scholarship for doing an exchange at ETH Zurich. She likes to move around in multidisciplinary environments with both managerial and technical issues, which motivated her to do a second master’s thesis for Management of Technology at Kyoto University, Japan. During her studies she was also a board member at Young KIVI NIRIA. She chose to keep working for Project Yele all these years, to build the hydro electric power plant and the community bazaar in Sierra Leone in order to break the cycle of poverty with the help of technology. Technical, financial, environmental and social aspects of this complex problem have to be addressed in order to increase the community’s opportunities for a better future. To go beyond great research and to use technology for social and environmental purposes is her ultimate goal.
