Testimonials

Dinah Waithira

"Meet Dinah, a mother of four from the Murang'a Maragua area in the Mt. Kenya region. For years, Jane faced financial challenges, spending on over 15 candles daily just to provide light for her children's studies and her evening chores. All that changed when a friend introduced her to d.light home lighting. With d.light, Jane now has reliable, affordable lighting that allows her children to study effectively, and she has already noticed an improvement in their school performance. She can also charge her phone, ensuring she stays connected, and the added security of lighting protects her rabbits at night. Jane is so pleased with her d.light experience that she's already planning to upgrade to a 32-inch TV, bringing even more convenience and joy to her home."

Eunice Wambui Muiruri

"Eunice Wambui Muiruri, a resident of Nyeri County, had always admired the transformation she saw in her friends' homes after they installed d.light. The bright, reliable lighting and the entertainment from the d.light TV made their lives look better, more comfortable, and modern. Impressed by how d.light bulbs compared to actual electricity, she decided to install the system in her own home. Since then, Eunice has felt like she's living a city lifestyle, with all the benefits of sufficient and dependable lighting. The impact on her daily life has been profound—no longer needing to buy paraffin, which she used to consume more than a liter of every three days. The money she saves on fuel now goes towards paying her children's school fees, ensuring they are never sent home due to unpaid fees. d.light has not only brightened her home but has also empowered her to invest in her children's education and future."

Florence Njoki Mwangi

"Florence has been using d.light for over two years, and the difference it's made in her life is remarkable. She used to spend a significant amount on paraffin for home lighting, but with d.light, she’s able to save more while enjoying reliable, bright lighting. Florence and her family now have access to TV and radio, keeping them informed and entertained. She’s so impressed with the benefits that she’s been encouraging her neighbors to install d.light, so they too can enjoy the comfort and savings that come with it"

Mary

"Mary has been using d.light in her home for over three years, and she's incredibly satisfied with the experience. She chose d.light because of its PayGo payment option, which allows her to pay in small, manageable amounts without straining her finances. One of the features she loves most is the d.light torch, which provides her family with a reliable way to go outside at night safely. Living near a forest, Florence often faced the threat of elephants roaming close to her compound, destroying crops. However, since installing d.light, the bright bulbs have helped to scare away the elephants, giving her peace of mind and a sense of security. Now, her children can study without disruption, and life in her home has become much safer and more comfortable."

Joseph Odero

"Joseph has been using d.light for over eight years, and he couldn't be happier with the consistent, all-night lighting it provides. Living in an area with limited access to electricity, d.light has been a game-changer for him. Life was challenging before d.light, but now he enjoys reliable lighting without disruption. Looking to the future, Joseph is excited about purchasing a d.light inverter to upgrade his lifestyle further by adding larger appliances to his home."
