  • Most rural villages have a market hall in the center of the dwellings, where residents come to buy supplies when they come home from work. This small public market is the last place where everyone buys and sells before plunging into the darkness of the roads. Night falls from 6 p.m. and public lighting helps maintain social ties. The villagers explained this problem to us during our visits from September 2016. Now and whenever possible, GHA installs spots and solar street lights.
