Nafa Naana proposes an PAYGO offer. This technical and financial system allows the most vulnerable to benefit from solar lighting equipment right awayand then to pay for it progressively: with each payment, the user receives a code on his phone that allows him to unlock his box for a period of time proportional to his payment.
To enable the most isolated to produce more energy energy, Nafa Naana has installed its first solar mini-grids: 5 neighbouring houses are equipped are equipped with solar panels and produce enough and produce enough energy to plug in useful useful equipment in their business (e.g. freezers (e.g. freezers/refrigerators). To recoup the investment the investment, each household contributes financially- –the investment, each household makes a financial contribution according to its consumption. the most vulnerable to benefit from decent lighting. to benefit from decent lighting.
