Africa has a big advantage that there is a plenty of sunshine the whole year.In order to narrow down our research for Africa undeveloped countries, we choose a typical country, Kenya, to present our design process. Kenya is located east of Africa.Here is the climate statistic for Kenya. The sunshine hours for twelve months in a year. []

But the demographical number shows as far as January, 2009, the population of Kenya is 41,000,000. And here is the brief transportation introduction in Kenya. If we divide the whole number by 41,000,000, the transportation resource per capital is almost nothing. Meanwhile, the population growth rate is 2% every year in Kenya. which means the population increase by 820,000 people per year. According to the data we get from Global Property Guide, as far as in year 2007, the GDP per capita of Kenya is $857. [] So we target to improve the low level transportation situation in rural area of Kenya, with a low-cost tricycle.
