A loan helped to light up his farm.


Brou Jean Pierre's story

Brou Jean Pierre is a 46-year-old farmer/merchant who lives in Côte d'Ivoire with his wife and his 2 children.

Brou Jean Pierre is requesting a loan to buy a solar kit consisting of 4 LED lamps, a rechargeable battery with a solar panel, and a television. This is intended to light up his farm and enjoy watching TV every evening with his wife and children.

Having a solar kit with lights will also allow Brou Jean Pierre to work longer hours on his farm when daylight fades.
Brou Jean Pierre is considering expanding his farm.
