"Meet Dinah, a mother of four from the Murang'a Maragua area. For years, she faced financial strain, burning up to 15 candles each night to light her home for her children’s studies and evening tasks. That all changed when a friend introduced her to d.light’s home solar solutions. Today, Dinah enjoys reliable, affordable lighting, which has already improved her children’s performance in school. Beyond better study conditions, she can charge her phone and keep her rabbits safe at night. Thrilled with the impact, Dinah is now considering financing the purchase of a 32-inch TV through d.light, further upgrading her family’s home."
"Eunice used to envy the transformation she saw in her friends' homes after they installed d.light — bright, steady lighting. The added entertainment of a d.light TV made their lives look more comfortable, modern, and full of possibility. Eunice decided to bring d.light into her own home. The results were nothing short of life-changing. Gone were the days of buying over a liter of paraffin every three days; Eunice saved money, which she now funnels into her children’s school fees, ensuring they’re never sent home due to unpaid bills. With d.light, Eunice hasn’t just brightened her home—she’s invested in her children’s education and financial security, giving them the tools to build a brighter future. "
"Living in an area without access to electricity, Beth had grown used to the darkness. Since installing d.light, everything has changed. Now, her family gathers each day to enjoy the simple joy of watching TV together — an experience that has brought them closer and keeps her children close. Beth is overjoyed by how d.light has not only brightened their home but also created moments of connection and happiness that she once thought were out of reach. Beth's life has been completely transformed by the warmth and light of shared memories. "
"For Florence, d.light has been a game changer over the past two years. Where she once spent a large portion of her income on paraffin for lighting, she now enjoys consistent, bright lighting without the burden of high costs. The added bonus? Her family can watch TV and listen to the radio, keeping them connected and entertained in ways they hadn’t before. Florence is so impressed by the transformation in her own life that she’s become a vocal advocate, urging her neighbors to experience the same benefits of savings, comfort, and enjoyment."
"Mary has been using d.light for three years, and the impact has been profound. She was drawn to the PayGo payment option, which allowed her to access affordable lighting without straining her budget. One of Maty’s favorite features is the d.light torch, which has made it possible for her family to venture outside safely at night. Living near a forest, Mary used to worry about elephants coming too close and damaging crops. d.light’s bright bulbs keep the elephants at bay, bringing her much-needed peace of mind. With better lighting, her children can also study in a safer, more comfortable environment that is conducive to learning."
"For over eight years, Joseph has relied on d.light. The difference it has made in his life is undeniable. In an area where electricity is scarce, d.light has been a reliable source of lighting, illuminating his home without interruption. Life without consistent light was too often inconvenient, but now Joseph enjoys the convenience of all-night, dependable lighting. As he looks ahead, he’s excited about the prospect of upgrading further with a d.light inverter, envisioning a future where he can power larger appliances that elevate his lifestyle even more."
d.light was among the first 200 companies to undertake the Global Impact Investment Rating System's (GIIRS) rigorous, independent assessment of social and environmental performance impact. Since 2012, d.light has received the highest score possible each year.
