Trifina Tsehla sits on her bed with her child, beneath a light powered by solar panels. Trifina has been a resident of Polokwane for the last 3 years. In the nights her family used only paraffin which created a lot of pollution. She knew it was bad for her kids health but there was no choice as there was no electricity from the grid. When she heard about solar home systems, she wanted to try them out for her family. Now a year later she believes she made the right choice. Her kids are not coughing anymore and they feel much safer in the night.
