Rukaiya Abdulsalam from Takwashinge community

“Thanks to business in bag and solar lamps, we can light our home and my children can safely run errands at night. In January 2024, when school opened, my husband and I shared decisions and responsibilities for our children’s education, making me feel valued in our household choices.

Abdulrrahman Yunusa

“Our behaviours towards our environment have changed, we nurture the planted trees, we have stopped the use and disposal of batteries we are hoping that this will help in combating climate change. We truly appreciate CARD for bringing the Women Climate Advocate Project to Takwashinge Community”

Gambo Ya’u

“Before, I used to spend a minimum of 1,500 Naira weekly on batteries to light up the house for my kids to read at night, but since we were introduced to Solar products by CARD, I have been able to save cost of buying and disposing batteries to our precious planet. Thank you, CARD, for sensitizing me, my family and the entire Baraza community on the effects of climate change and how we can combat it. By not buying batteries anymore, I believe I’m contributing my quota in the fight against climate change.
