Celebrities often lend their brand to a cause or undertake pet projects, but for Senegalese-American singer Akon, the issue of improving access to energy is personal and has been his main focus for the past two years. Akon spent his childhood living in Senegal and did not have the privilege to access electricity, an initiative to bring solar power to the continent, about a year ago. With many other initiatives to raise money for Africa, there have been no results “There’s always been so many initiatives in Africa, so much money raised in Africa, but there’s never no results and it got to the point where you get tired of it,” he told Devex in a recent interview. “I took it more personal than anything and I wanted to be in a position to where if I move forward on something I wanted to actually see it materialize.”
