Summary
Consolata Tsibesa, lives in Savala village in western Kenya. She is the bread winner for her family of four children. Her sole source of lighting has been entirely on tin lamps which produces smoke and soot and has very insufficient light for children to study. This has affected her both economically and health wise together with the studies for her children. She has been forced to spend time and money every monthly on eye treatment for her eldest son who is in seventh grade.
The installation of solar in her house will change so much in terms of health, cost of kerosene and allow her children to have more time in evening studies. This story is typical of many families in this village.Company name | Solar Home Systems 16 |

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.
