The voltage drop keeps bugging me. I talked to a Swedish engineer working in Tanzania. He figured on a 25% voltage drop. (sic!) "The light bulbs give off a rather reddish light"

I really don't see the point in giving people a limit of only 25 watts per house where all you can use is a refrigerator bulb in one room.

I'd say give each house a 10 or 15 amp supply - that should be enough for say....1,200 to 1,800 watts (if my math is correct by using 120 volts).
That should be enough for one 60-watt lightbulb in each room (assume one main family room, one kitchen area and a sleeping room or two plus a bathroom), plus the odd electric fan, transistor-radio or small TV and eventually as the economic situation improves...a small electric refrigerator.
