In Njombe region, in John Mwafute's village used to call him a dreamer(Pwagu). But that was before he built his village a hydropower plant that brings electricity to more than 250 households. Meet the man who powered his whole village by building his own hydroelectric power station. In Njombe region, Mr.Pwagu has been generating power /electricity from waterfalls by using locally made hydro power. He has been able to supply electricity to his village for more than 10years now and he earns a living by charging a fee for the service. Electricity and power outage is quite common occurrence in third world countries, Tanzania being one of the nations affected by this problem, especially in rural areas. According to the ministry of energy only 24 percent of Tanzanians have access to electricity.
