Microfinance creating roads to energy

The Lamelson Foundation proposes, identifies, and funds social entrepreneural programs. They work with many other organizations we have talked about earlier, like Aavishkaar, n-Logue, and Ashoka; and have been supporting programs on marketing low-cost irrigation equipment, asthma inhallers, micro power-plants, and micro-finance intiatives, among many others.

This particular project talks about setting up a sustainable biogas based power plant, where all the local entrepreneurs will be funded through micro-credit. Such proposals go on to highlight how small initiaties can come together, and work in coordination with each other to create a much stronger force.
