High in the Peruvian Andes, in a house made of mud and straw the Quispe family live in a single room. In addition to freezing winters and summer droughts the family contends with a complete lack of sanitation, running water and electricity. They struggle to earn £180 a year growing potatoes and raising Alpacas.

This video shows how their lives have changed since electricity came to their home via a solar panel, installed with the help of Practical Action.
