Mary
Mary lives with her five children and 24 other members of the extended family in her tribe’s housing complex on the Tanzanian Maasai steppe. The family pays for their ENGIE Mobisol solar home system through an affordable installment plan via their mobile phone. The family uses the system for lighting, listening to the radio and watching TV. Mary explains: “The children now have bright light to do homework. They do not use the kerosene lamp any more, the fumes made them cough at night. We feel more connected to the rest of the world through the radio and TV.” For her, another main benefit of having electricity is that she can charge her mobile phone to reach family members who are out herding the cattle.
