A loan helped to light his home.


Kanga's story

Kanga is a 68-year-old planter living in Côte d'Ivoire with his wife and their four children.

Kanga is applying for a loan to buy a solar kit comprising 4 LED lights, a rechargeable battery with a solar panel and a television, so that he can light up his house and enjoy his television with his wife and children every evening.

Having a solar kit with lights will also enable Kanga to stay longer in his yard when daylight disappears, and watch TV with complete safety.
