Kitech helps with solar lamps to hard-to-reach communities nationally in Sierra Leone. Millions of families lack energy access, and a solar lamp is often the first step families take towards energy security.
THE POVERTY PROBLEM
Almost millions of Sierra Leoneans light their homes using kerosene lamp. This has enormous poverty implications. Kerosene is dim, costs a minimum of $35 to keep fueled, pollutes indoor air, create health problems, and causes fire.
Alternatives like mini grids, solar home systems, and Mykitech solar lamps have made progress against this issue.
THE PROVEN INTERVENTION / SOLUTIONS: Fortunately there is a proven solution. Mykitech solar lamps are a high quality product that provides up to 20 times more illumination than kerosene lamps. They are also a cost-effective alternative, as they cost as little as $5 per unit. With funding to Mykitech, every houshold in Sierra Leone will eventually have a cleantech energy nationally.
