The project

Norekia uses small paraffin tin lamps locally known as `Koroboi’for lighting. These lamps are the most dangerous for families as they are ready sources of deaths from fires. They are slow killers to children due to air pollution.

Fearing dangers paused by tin lamps at night and cut on paraffin costs, Norekia has bought a dry cell torch to use in the night. She has lost honor among her fellow women who gossip about her soot covered walls.

Norekia is extremely hopeful that from her income, she can be able to purchase a TV and install Solar lighting System. The set she would like to own comes with a 19inch colour TV, 4 bulbs, 1 battery and Solar Panel.

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.
