Tabbaneh, one of the poorest areas of Tripoli: Imagine a one-room “apartment” in the basement of a building. We have to go down a narrow and low corridor. There are no windows for natural light: a room, a hallway (the kitchen), a bathroom (a shower and a toilet). A couple lives here with a 26-year-old daughter.
Thanks to the solar lamp system, you always have light in the bathroom at the end of the hallway. For them, light during the many power outages means they can move around or charge their smartphones – so life goes on and they stay in touch with their friends and families.
