Photo by rubensalgadoescudero | Denis Okiror began using solar lights at his barbershop in Kayunga, Uganda, in 2013. He says most of his customers prefer to visit him in the evening. Uganda has one of the lowest electrification rates in Africa. In urban areas, 57.7% of Ugandans have access to electricity, which drops to 38% in rural areas. This is part of my long-term project Solar Portraits, which focuses on electricity access around the world and the positive impact of solar power on communities. Follow me on rubensalgadoescudero to see the world through my lens.
