DIFN (Development Impact for Nigeria) was set up in 2000 in the UK, initially starting off as CIFN, an ecumenical agency to address the issues of HIV/AIDS awareness, Prevention and Care/Support. We have now evolved into being a holistic development agency working in partnership with several Nigerian based Community Based Organisations, NGOs, Schools, Faith Groups, State and Local Government Agencies. In 2010, an initiative was proposed by members of the Modakeke Progressive Union (a Diaspora organization in the UK) to provide solar power products for the benefit of the inhabitants of Modakeke, Osun State, Nigeria. This area has suffered several years of civil war and its people are slowly re-building their lives. This initiative aims to facilitate regeneration of the area by reducing poverty and illiteracy of locals by: 1. Providing beneficiaries with solar lanterns and small-scale photovoltaic systems to reduce their reliance on kerosene and diesel - which are toxic and can be very dangerous if kerosene is mixed with other liquids 2. Improve educational standards because children will be able to study at night 3. Encourage the use of solar power to generate an income e.g. for charging mobile phones or using money which would otherwise be spent on diesel and kerosene, on other items to sustain their families 4. Engaging locals in volunteering schemes to educate others about energy conservation and about solar energy devices in rural areas in Nigeria, particularly in Osun State
