This project focuses on women in two rural areas of Senegal, in order to allow them to develop a new micro-economic and sustainable pillar in their day-to-day activities. Through the provision of micro-finance services, the program aims to facilitate access to solar energy by: 

• Developing a local offer of micro-finance to overcome the financial barrier to investment in solar energy
• Building local networks of agents in charge of distributing solar solutions and after-sales services
• Strengthening rural women's capacities to take economic benefit from their solar solutions and finances

This will also reduce the use and the cost of kerosene for rural lighting and establish a local supply chain.
