A loan helped to light up his home.


Filtchilleh's story

Filtchilleh is a 54-year-old farmer living in Côte d'Ivoire with his wife and 7 children.

Filtchilleh 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 Filtchilleh to stay longer in his yard in complete safety when daylight disappears.
