VillageTech Solutions funds an advanced 6V home electrical power system for multiple uses: LED lamps, phone charging, radio, water cleansing, etc.
VillageTech Solutions designs rugged lighting systems for rural homes. Families may get their own small solar panel or share power from a central village utility. In Nepal VillageSolutions, an all-Nepalese organization trained by VillageTech, produces and installs this equipment. An entire home system costs about $65. This is a modest investment, but beyond the budget of many rural families. Donated funds offset part of the cost, bringing light, news, music and hope to families in darkness.
VillageSolutions makes the Village Sun Light. See attached brochure. When seventeen Sun Lights appeared in one community another 3,400 households asked for the same! VillageTech will license the Sun Light to quality manufacturers in other markets.
VillageSolutions’ system pioneers a very low wattage, modular, expandable power system for individual homes. LED lighting enables productive work, extended study hours, and home safety. Many low wattage applications are coming.
If these vulnerable people could [get] such light, they can tackle their other problem. This village solar light is [the only] solution to give light avoiding fire hazard in the [crowded] camps.
