On 15 August 2017 Thomson Reuters Foundation reported: Until recently, Kenneth Njoroge's home northwest of Kenya's capital, Nairobi, was poorly lit at night. Most people in Ndabibi are not connected to mains electricity, and rely on kerosene or small solar lamps to light their homes. A loan from a micro-finance institution has made it possible for him to invest in a solar power system for his home. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of science and business, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

Njoroge's new kit consists of a solar photovoltaic panel, three light bulbs, a battery, a radio, a torch, and three charging ports. The equipment has done more than provide better lighting at home and eliminate his kerosene bills. He no longer has to buy batteries for his radio and torch, nor go to the local shopping center to charge his phone.

Njoroge applied for a connection to the national grid two years ago, but has yet to see Kenya Power and Lighting Company employees in his neighborhood. By contrast, it took just two weeks from the time he applied to Musoni for the loan until he was able to pick up the solar home system from the organization's office in Naivasha. 'Connection was easy too because everything was clear. I put the panel on the roof and then hung the lights inside. We used it that same day,' he said.
