So, some people like barber Damian are still enjoying the novelty of getting wired up only a year and a half ago."Until I got power I had nothing and couldn't do anything. When I got power I bought everything at the same time."

Like moths, young people hang out in his barber shop like a youth hostel."Getting power has changed my life," he smiles. "The money I'm earning now from the barbershop is helping me pay for school fees again."Embracing electricity is very much a business decision for Damian.
