	Along with not having access to electricity, a significant number of people do not have access to safe, clean cooking and heating methods (see [[access to non-solid fuel]]). Instead, approximately 2.8 billion people rely on the burning of [[coal]], wood or other [[biomass]] (animal dung and crop waste) which results in indoor and outdoor air pollution.<ref name='WBE'/> It is estimated that over 4 ''million'' people die yearly from illnesses attributable to air [[pollution]] from burning these fuels.<ref name='WHO'>World Health Organization.

	==Benefits of Electrification==		==Benefits of Electrification==
	Modern energy services are important in ensuring a satisfactory [[quality of life]] for people and promoting economic development. Access to energy is central to issues such as security, [[climate change]], food production, and strengthening economies while protecting ecosystems.<ref name='UNF'/> Increased access to electricity improves education, entertainment, health, comfort, protection, and productivity. In a study done in the Phillipines,<ref>~~Virginia Abiad, Aleta Domdom, Doug Barnes,Henry Peskin. (March 14, 2015).~~ '~~'Benefit Estimates of~~ Rural Electrification in the Philippines'~~' [Online]. Available: https~~://~~www~~.~~esmap~~.org/~~sites~~/~~esmap.org~~/~~files~~/~~PR_Phillipines_philelec~~.pdf </ref> it was determined that access to electricity provided families with improved education as children could study more easily after dark. As well, not having to collect fuels to burn saves time for people in the family, particularly the women. As well, increased access to electricity simplified household tasks and improved the productivity of home businesses. Overall, it was estimated that 1.82 '''years''' of education were added in electrified households and the monthly benefit was $10.33.
