This project will provide 10,000 solar lanterns to women and girls living in urban slums in Nigeria, where electricity access is limited or unreliable. Lack of lighting affects education, safety, and economic opportunities. With a solar lantern, girls can study at night, women can run small businesses safely, and families reduce reliance on dangerous kerosene lamps. This project empowers slum communities, improves safety, and promotes sustainable, clean energy solutions.
Millions of women and girls in Nigeria's slums live without reliable electricity, affecting education, safety, and economic opportunity. Girls cannot study at night, and women face unsafe conditions while working or commuting after dark. Families often rely on kerosene lamps, which are expensive and hazardous. Limited access to clean energy perpetuates inequality, limits productivity, and exposes vulnerable populations to accidents and respiratory illness.
By providing solar lanterns, this project delivers clean, safe, and reliable light directly to households. Girls can study at night, improving educational outcomes. Women can safely run small businesses or complete household tasks. The project also includes training on proper use and maintenance, promoting sustainability. By replacing dangerous lighting methods, it reduces fire risk and household air pollution while fostering empowerment and independence.
Access to solar lighting improves education, economic opportunity, and safety for women and girls. Over time, this enhances school performance, supports small businesses, and reduces health risks from kerosene use. Communities benefit from cleaner, sustainable energy solutions, promoting environmental awareness. Long-term, the project contributes to gender equality, improved livelihoods, and resilient slum communities equipped to overcome energy poverty.
