In the small village of Saili, in Chipata, Eastern Province, Zambia, a woman named Mtiyose lived a humble life. She spent her days farming and selling produce at the local market. However, her life took a dramatic turn when she joined a project selling solar lights to her community.
Mtiyose's involvement with the project began when a Kukula Solar introduced her to the benefits of solar energy. They trained her on the sale of solar lights. Initially, she was skeptical, but the prospect of earning a steady income and making a difference in her community intrigued her.
As Mtiyose started selling solar lights, she noticed a significant impact on her life and the lives of those around her. Her income increased, allowing her to send her children to school and improve her family's living conditions. The solar lights also brought light to her village, reducing the reliance on hazardous kerosene lamps and enabling children to study at night.
Mtiyose's confidence grew, and she became a leader in her community, encouraging others to adopt sustainable energy solutions. Her success inspired other women to join the project, creating a ripple effect of empowerment and economic growth.
Years later, Mtiyose 's village was transformed. Homes were lit, businesses thrived, and the environment was protected. Mtiyose's life was forever changed, a testament to the power of innovation, determination, and community spirit.
