Access to the internet means a lot because it exposes people to the digital world. In today's age, having
internet knowledge is essential as it connects people to more opportunities and information.

I also offer computer training, allowing people in the community to learn computer skills and earn certificates.

This gives them the opportunity to start their own businesses without needing to travel far for the knowledge.
People from nearby communities and towns come to my shop because my services are cheaper.

The solar system was already in place before I started my shop. In fact, the availability of solar power was a
key reason I decided to start this business, as I didn’t have to worry about the cost of fuel.

I no longer need to buy fuel for generators, and I can offer services at
lower prices because solar power is more affordable.

It has allowed me to operate more efficiently. The whole community benefits from reliable electricity, which
has brightened the streets and given us a sense of pride—so much so that we call our area “Small London.”My
goal is to expand this business to other villages and bring the benefits of solar-powered business to more
communities, so they can also take advantage of the opportunities we enjoy here.
