ABB Group has designed a new kind of service station voltage transformer specifically for use in establishing what they call “micro-grids” in order to supply electrical energy to communities or installations otherwise separated from a country's power grid.

The system developed by ABB can be installed at a much lower price, and has already shown great results providing electricity for new schools, hospitals, and general public use in communities that were once detached from their national power grids.
Combined with the solar and wind generators that ABB already trades in, these communities find themselves launched forward into stable and healthy development.

What I find inspiring about Do Amore is the idea and how simple it is. Founder Krish Himmatramka wanted to help people and have it come from truly a place of love and commitment. While engagement rings and drilling for water might not be an obvious connection, Krish was able to build off that idea. When people are ready to start a family and want to purchase a ring for someone they love, he wanted to help them make that decision with both socially responsibility and sustainability in mind. Do Amore takes that desire one step further and with every ring purchase, they help build a well in a developing nation, bringing clean water to that community. Do Amore is all about doing more to help solve the water crisis, and they are doing so “one ring at a time.”
