      Summary

      Johan heeft samen met zijn vrouw Maria een paar hectare grond waarop hij tomaten verbouwt. Om zijn land te irrigeren, gebruikt hij een oude pomp die loopt op benzine. Aan brandstofkosten alleen al is hij 20 dollar per week kwijt. Een flinke hap uit zijn inkomen.

      Met een lening kunnen Johan en 67 andere boeren worden voorzien van een waterpomp die op zonnepanelen draait.

      De lening wordt verstrekt door lokale partner BNF.

      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.
