The residents of Conta Africa received the installation of solar street lighting in their area with much excitement and gratitude.
For long, residents have suffered at the hands of thugs who wait for the dark to cause mayhem, snatching bags and phones from people making their way home from work, sexually assaulting women and beating up some victims.
Testimonies from some dwellers in the area indicate that screams for help are often heard as early as 9 pm. This had forced the residents to have to retire early to avoid falling victim.
In partnership with Signify Foundation and Dembe Group, we installed 10 solar streetlights in spots identified by the area residents, led by the Local Chairman. The lights were strategically positioned at the dark spots in the area and this will flash out the hiding places of the attackers.
