Amadou Moctar B.A. (Oudassadou, Kolda, Senegal):
“I have been using the Spark solar kit at home since May 2021. I have a family of four and I often have some residual income, which we use to purchase rechargeable torches and candles for light purposes. We charge our torch at a shop nearby. We were grateful to have convenience when we heard about the Spark energy kit. We use the radio during the day and television at night which helps us stay in touch with the world outside. I am now happy to have convenience in life at a small cost, thanks for the pay-go system. I am looking forward to purchasing the fan in the next year for summer”.

Abdulmuhymin Haruna (Kano, north-west Nigeria):
“I have been using the Spark Fan kit since 5 months in my tailoring business. It is quite hot and humid in my region, so I use the fan for about 10 hours a day. With the solar bulb, I can run my business even after sunset, until 11 pm. I also make additional income by charging 5-6 phones per day using the cubes. Before getting the energy kit, I used to spend about 700 Naira (approx €2,-) on fuel per day to power my electricity needs. But this has now reduced to only 170 Naira per day with the energy kit.”

Neema Bigarura Nelly (Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo):
“I have been using the Spark energy kits since 7 month and it has made my life so much easier! I keep the lights on in my cosmetic & beer shop from 6 pm till the sunrise. This keeps my shop safe at night during the dark where we don’t have a lot of street lights. My family and I also charge our phones with the batteries and we never need to go to other shops to charge our devices. The best part is that I get to watch football match whenever I want to on my own television! Since I don’t earn a lot at once, it helps me that I can pay for the energy kits in small instalments.”

Mahigo Omega (Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo):
“I purchased the Spark energy system about a year ago for my home when I faced a loss due to battery failures in the previous solar panels. I had been purchasing solar panels and appliances from the local market with cash but eventually lost my products to lack of maintenance. However, I came across the Spark energy kit during one of the awareness campaigns on solar energy by Altech. With PayGo, I am able to adjust my payments according to my monthly savings and my distributor has been very understanding of my low income in certain months. Now I’m able to provide security for my house and children, with light even at night.”
