A loan helped to light his home.


Halidou's story

Halidou, 40, is a planter who lives in the Ivory Coast with his spouse and his 3 children. Halidou requests a loan to buy a solar kit made of 4 LED lamps, a rechargeable batter with a solar panel, and a television with the goal of lighting his house and benefiting each evening from watching TV with his wife and children. Having a solar kit with lights will also permit Halidou to spend more time in his yard when the day's light 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.
