I would have asked some of the girls in the audience to come up front and wash clothes for 10 minutes while you gave the lecture in the dark. It would have required you to write the information on a chalk board (since your power point won't work in places without electricity). Having been to India, I get your point. I am not sure kids get it. The experiential learning is best. Maybe have a whole day where kids walk to school, have food cooked over an open fire, no electricity and cell phones and tablets and walk home. Then bring them to the ER and let them see all the lifesaving measures made possible by crude oil. And their car that needs fuels for oil and break lines and electrical wires to run the car radio, don't forget that!
