this money removed funds that could be used to feeding the poor, give 
them clean water, and provide them sanitation and houseing.

Shame !

Instead, this money was grabbed by govenrment and 3rd world dictators, 
and also paid to large corporations selling solar panels, and overly 
expensive light bulbs to people that do not have jobs or basic living 
needs met.

Misplaced priorities by money grabbing polticians and companies
