Abstract
A tiny hamlet named Ananiso near Sicuani 14,500 ft in the highlands of Peru. The villagers have benefitted from an improved toilet, solar panels which provide electricity and improve stoves with chimneys directing smoke out of their homes. The electricity allows for an electric spinning machine, which makes spinning four times faster than by hand, quadrupling the weavers' output and improving their income.
