Electrification

[edit]

Prior to 2016, the residents of Kitumbeine had no access to reliable electricity. This changed when one of Mini-Grid developers in Tanzania electrified the village fueling socio-economic growth in the village.[2][3] [4] The move is in line with the government initiative to ensure energy access and connectivity to all citizen following the opt-in to the SE4ALL goals.[5]
