      The project

      Read the information document of the issuer here

      Seelu Ene Moloimet is a middle aged woman from Inkisanjani village in Kajiado County. Her house a while ago went up in frames while her kid slept. This was caused by a kerosene lamp. The kerosene lamp fell and the whole house was on fire. Fortunately her good neighbors came to their rescue and managed to save them though most of her belongings were reduced  to ashes.

      As one can imagine the solar home system will make a big diffrence. She is excited because even her health and that of her children will improve since she has for a long time complained of the chest  pains.

      Local partner BNF will provide the loan.

      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.
