What difference can street lights make for refugees? It means security at night and a little bit of sense of normalcy in a refugee camp. This settlement in Chad was enveloped in darkness during the night, creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty for refugees, particularly women and girls, who most of the time needed to fetch water and gather firewood after nightfall. But with the introduction of streetlights, a simple flick of a switch has brought about a dramatic transformation. The impact on local businesses has been significant as well. Small shops and market stalls, which used to close at sunset, now stay open later. Yunus, a shop owner, has doubled sales since the streetlights were installed. “People feel safer coming out and buying things at night,” said Yunus. “The light has given us more time to work and earn money for our families.”
