Women of poor families in India spend a big part of their income and time on household energy. This leaves the women physically exhausted and limits their time to earn a decent livelihood. On top of that: the use of traditional energy sources has a great impact on their health and the environment. The biggest Indian union for women found a solution: they train a part of their members as energy leaders that help these women to make a transition to renewable energy sources.

CLIENT’S REQUEST

Mondiaal FNV asked us to show how the project impacts the life of the ten thousands of women involved. To grab the story behind the numbers.

WHAT WE DID

We joined several energy leaders in the field. We captured the transitions and found the inspiring stories on how these improved the quality of life of the women. We developed the concept, shot the photos, video on location and edited the material to impact stories for their website, social media and publications. We also experimented with 360 video, to give the audience a feel of how it is to cook on a woodfire in a small Indian house.
