In May 2005, SFYDP took the necessary first steps with Konta Line to begin providing energy to the village with solar home light systems and solar lanterns. The Konta Line Solar Home Light Management Committee (KSHMC), which consists of inhabitants of Konta Line and members of Safer Future, was formed to ensure proper handling of the systems and to be a guarantor, ensuring the terms of the contract between the beneficiaries and Safer Future are upheld.

A solar home light system serves as a clean, safe and powerful source of light for the households involved in the project. The system consists of a fixed solar panel, a battery and 4 fixed solar lamps per system. The lanterns/lamps have a built-in battery which is charged through a portable panel.

With the installation of the solar lighting systems, the situation for the school children in the community improved significantly; now they have proper light for doing their homework, studies etc. in the evenings. Up to 10 children use one lamp or lantern for their activities. Adults are also benefiting from the extended of working hours: community meetings can take place after 7 p.m. when night falls; the light is used for prayers and the different types of jobs they have to do in addition to their work in the fields.

The lamps and lanterns do not pollute the environment with any emissions, noise or smell. The users are independent from the increasing kerosene costs and, therefore, the energy source is potentially available to all families. The handling of the lanterns is simple and the materials are well made ensuring a life span of the system of up to 20 years or more.
