A loan helped to buy a solar lamp kit that will help to improve his living conditions.


Orlando's story

Orlando is a 47 year old farmer who lives in the Yoro community in Honduras. He has devoted himself to growing basic grains there ever since he was very young. He lives with his wife, Margarita, and four children. He wishes to be able to give them a better future.

There is no access to electricity in the community where he lives. For years he has needed to uses candles and ocote for light. This is the reason that Orlando has decided to request a loan from Soluz Honduras to buy a solar light kit, which will help to improve his family's quality of life. He will now be able to do the household chores at night without difficulty. He will also be able to keep his cell phone charged.
