Summary:

The focus of this case is on E-Dina's WaterLight, a device specifically created for the Wayúu tribe, an indigenous community residing on the La Guajira peninsula that stretches between Colombia and Venezuela. With its ability to convert saltwater into electricity, the WaterLight holds great potential for areas that lack access to reliable sources of electricity. In general, the WaterLight appears to be an innovative and promising product that could offer a much-needed source of electricity and clean water for individuals living in regions with unreliable access to both. This case delves into E-Dina's distinctive energy services, which employ an approach called "the 4As" (availability, affordability, acceptability, and awareness) to evaluate fundamental energy services for the Wayúu tribe. In addition, E-Dina is also exploring ways to introduce the product to other communities in need across the globe.
