Admin with minimal computer skills in small Nepali village.
Purpose: 
Creating and tracking new hydropower accounts.

This project, as proposed, was to provide hydropower to a small Nepali village and to set up and track energy contracts based on their need. There was no electrical power in this village, previous to this project. Cooking was done on wood stoves.

We worked with the Nepali government and energy partners in Europe to fund and support his project. Weather played a factor as small greenhouses were much less productive during the harsh winters and we wanted to provide heating and light as well as clean cooking methods. A role-based console allowed local admin functions to be simple and minimal.
