A loan helped to light his house.


Kouadjassi's story

Kouadjassi, 72, is a planter who lives in the Ivory Coast with his spouse and 8 children. Kouadjassi requests a loan to buy a solar kit made up of 4 LED lamps, a rechargeable battery with a solar panel, and a television with the goal of lighting his home and benefiting from the TV each evening with his spouse and children. Having a solar kit with lamps is going to permit Kouadjassi to stay longer in his courtyard when the daylight disappears.

Translated from French by Kiva volunteer Hannah Ridge.


This loan is special because:

It gives rural households and businesses in Cote d'Ivoire access to solar powered products.
