The project
Sabomana is a talented family man who runs a barbershop that is the favourite of hundreds in the camp. Due to poor grid connectivity, power surges and black outs have affected his seemingly booming business. On a good day, he shaves about 15 people and hires 3 casuals to assist and makes USD 19 in net income.
Solar Home Lighting systems is the new talk in the densely populated settlement. Sabomana has built enough savings to acquire Msolar55+ for lighting in his business and house (both are joined). The package goes for USD 862 and comprises 4 bright bulbs, 9AH batteries, 55 watts panel, 24” TV, a torch and radio.
Armed with the TV and undisturbed flow of lighting, he is optimistic to attract more clients. He shall create employment for 3 more casuals during peak seasons. His next investment is to acquire solar powered barber kits and open branches in neighbouring zones.

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.
