The main objective is to introduce solar energy to103 households in 3 villages in the Macuata Province and 1 village in the Cakaudrove Province through the enhancement of technical skills of semi literate women. In addition, this will also be done by:

ii) Empowering established Solar Village Committees to implement the entire solar lighting project through the Women Barefoot Solar Engineers (BSEs) in their villages.
iii) Training other semi-literate rural women to fabricate, install and maintain the solar lighting systems in their villages and other livelihoods activities that they learnt in India
iv) Organizing the community to sustain the project through collecting monthly users? contribution and barefoot solar engineers (BSEs) wages
v) Putting the fabrication, installation, repair and maintenance of solar technology in the management, supervision, control and ownership of rural communities
