An hour of light from a kerosene lamp. Homework ended at sunset.
After
Five rooms lit. A small fridge. A daughter studying until ten.

“My boys did not know silence at night. Now they do.”

Solar power every night. No fumes. No fuel runs. No noise.
Western edge of Nairobi
Mama Achieng's Cooperative
“I used to walk for water. Now I walk for joy.”

A solar pump beside the home. Time, returned.
