Over 300 households in Kirinyaga, Tharaka Nithi and Narok counties are set to benefit from a sponsored solar home system during the festive season.

Worth over Sh5 million, the joint initiative is a partnership between off-grid solar energy company Azuri Technologies, its distributors Raj Ushanga House and non-profit organisation Young Jains Nairobi.

It is aimed at scaling up rural Kenya’s adoption of solar solutions, with three-quarters of rural households dependent on kerosene for lighting.
