In a picturesque community in the state of Olancha in Honduras lives Carmen, age 37. She is a determined woman who watches out for the well-being of her family. She is married and lives with her children and her husband, who is a farmer who grows basic grains, which is the primary economic support.
Carmen aspires to have better living conditions despite the difficulty of not having access to the basic service of electricity in her community. They have to use candles and lamps for lighting. She seeks a loan from Soluz Honduras to acquire a solar lighting kit to improve her family's living conditions. This will permit her to do housework in the evenings without difficulty and will eliminate the use of candles or lamps.
