The project
Daniel Opondo lives in Busia county, Madwele village. He is a father of four children. Together with his wife they live with their sickly mother in the same compound. Daniels main lighting source has been mainly the kerosene lamb and a hand-held torch as a back-up in case the kerosene runs out as well as when nursing the mother at night. This is costly and ended up affecting the academic performance of his daughter last year who was taking the final exam of primary education.
The opportunity to install a solar home system will improve academic performance of the schooling children and has been able to save on money he has been using to buy kerosene.

Impact
BnF focuses on sustainable energy projects in rural Kenya, offering households a 12-month payment plan to purchase a solar home system. The system enables clients to generate sufficient energy to power many basic necessities such as lights, radios, televisions, and other essential appliances. Solar home systems reduce reliance on polluting and health-threatening fuels such as kerosene, firewood, and coal for families' lighting and cooking needs.
Electricity opens new economic opportunities for families, enabling household incomes to grow progressively. It provides access to information and entertainment, allowing the children to spend time studying in the evenings and empowering women to engage more in household and local-level decision-making. It stands to reason that entire rural communities' livelihoods benefit from access to clean energy as their productivity, efficiency, and health prospers.
