A clean, affordable and better source of lighting is the first and most crucial step on the energy ladder. The fact that today over 3000 people in rural Eastern Province of Zambia are using clean solar lights is a testament to the hard work and dedication of Kukula Solar teams. We are proud of the amazing benefits to families, schools and communities that we have witnessed as a result of our work.

Kerosene lamps release black carbon into the environment, polluting the air, particularly inside homes, which often results in long-term, serious health problems such as lung and eye diseases. Kerosene lamps also produce an alarming rate of immediate hazards including doburns and fatal fires from their dangerous open flames.

In Zambia alone, the International Energy Agency estimates that 11.1 million people, or 65% of the population, lives off the electrical grid. Electricity is only available in the cities and main towns. This forces families living off-grid to spend an average of ZMW50 per month for kerosene and candles to produce dim lighting, which is not even adequate for work or study. The cost of kerosene accounts for up to 25% of a family monthly income. This money caould be better used to imrpove household nutrition and health, pay school fees or fund new business opportunities.

Across the African continent, it is further estimated that over 600 million people do not have access to electricity. With a total population of nearly one billion, it is reported that there are likely  100 to 200 million kerosene lamps damaging the health, polluting the air, and wasting the precious money of families in rural African off-grid communities.

Replacing kerosene lamps with solar lights not only mitigates global warming and it also offers comfort to anxious mothers. Also do not have any worries with the risk of the kerosene to spill and burn the house, because solar is easy to use and the children can put it on without me around, reported  a mother in Chamoto Village.

With research from the Global Off-Grid Lighting Association (GOGLA), the following figures highlight the benefits of replacing kerosene lamps with solar lights:
