A loan helped to illuminate his home.


Yao Félix's story

Yao Félix is 50 years old and works as a farmer in Côte d'Ivoire with his wife and two children.

Yao Félix plans to use this loan to purchase a solar kit composed of 4 LED lamps, a rechargeable battery with a solar panel, and a television. This will allow him to light up his house and spend time with his family.

The solar kit will also allow Yao Félix to work longer hours, after the sun sets.

Translated from French by Kiva volunteer Rebecca Smith.


This loan is special because:

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