"Around the world, people can illegally tamper with electrical wires in order to steal electricity. For example — in Pakistan, people use kunda “wire hook” connections, which are wires that illegally hook directly onto the distribution cables that bring energy to homes and businesses. Not only is electricity theft from kunda connections a health hazard, but it also impacts the reliability of power supply for the country...Together, USAID and MEPCO installed aerial bundled cables (ABC), which insulate live wires and are impossible to steal from with kunda wire hooks."
