Dear Molly, Bill and Colleen, Tom, Thomas, Ted and Pam, Chris and Emily, Patrick, Alexander, and Tanu,

Lydia lives in a small village in Kapchorwa, and she is the first ever Solar Sister Entrepreneur and one of her customers who bought up 2 lanterns, a Nova and a firefly is now saving up the money and has started building an extension of her house.

Her children have money enough to go to school.

Another of her customers is using the money she has saved up to start up a canteen. A canteen is a small shop that sells basic household items in a community such as soap, salt, sugar.

This is a great impact in their lives and to see what great investments these ladies in the villages have made with the savings from money they should have used buying kerosene is simply amazing.

Lydia as an entrepreneur is incredible, she is a business woman, she owns a shop that sells many things from electronic products, household items and solar lanterns.

Her story and business acumen is one that anybody out there needs to tap into.
