Dear Supporters
We had a really exciting meeting with a team in Spain last month, over the years, bringing solar power to our communities in need has cut living costs and kept the lights on for many people that traditionally can't afford power. As a result children can do homework in the evening as they have lights to see, families when they have food are able to cook and communities are getting online to access a whole new world of online employment.
Power sounds simple but it is such a huge life changer for people that have spent years in the dark, we have also been funding solar power for community hospitals and centres which means medication is now able to be stored within local communities and more medical support offered within the community.
After meeting with a solar designer we have been offered new systems that are safe, secure and lightweight as well as much cheaper than the current ones and with the support of our donors we are excited to fundraise so we can bring more systems to Nepal in 2024.
On Wednesday (12th July) GlobalGiving will be offering match funding for all unique donations of $100 or more made on this day while funds last. This is such a great opportunity for us and we would love to ask you to share our project this wednesday with friends and family and together we hope to make an even bigger donation with these matched funds.
Thank you,
Cheryl
Introduction
Renewable energy is a way for communities to go off the grid whilst becoming more independent and affordable at the same time. This isn't easy as not all communities have the funding and knowledge to implement renewable energy.
Report
Solar Energy for Community Resilience in Nepal is a highly innovative project that uses solar energy to build community resilience - strengthening health and small enterprise development - and reducing communities' vulnerability to climate change impacts as well as providing them with the opportunity to become independent and develop sustainably. We have raised $1450 so far.
Please remember the little by little campaign in April where if you donate up to $50, GlobalGiving will match it at 50%.
Thank you for your support
Introduction
Renewable energy is a way for communities to go off the grid whilst becoming more independent and affordable at the same time. This isn't easy as not all communities have the funding and knowledge to implement renewable energy which is where we step in...Without funding and resources, these communities have been unable to rebuild their homes and develop their communities, however, if they had access to reusable energy and sustainable water supplies their lives would be very different.
Report
In the long run, we hope to provide communities with sustainable water supplies and reusable energy sources so that they can have electricity and water all year round without relying on the larger cities and communities. This will allow communities to grow and develop whilst having a minimal impact on the environment and their surroundings.

This will allow communities to grow and develop whilst having a minimal impact on the environment and their surroundings. This will benefit healthcare, education and empower community members through job creation and providing skills they wouldn't have otherwise had access to.
Report
Many people are still without homes, electricity and running water, which directly affects most aspects of their lives, especially healthcare. Without funding and resources, these communities have been unable to rebuild their homes and develop their communities, however, if they had access to reusable energy and sustainable water supplies their lives would be very different.

Introduction
This Nepal project is using solar energy to help improve remote rural communities' resilience, with a focus on improving health, flood-safety and the livelihoods of vulnerable people in two isolated communities.
Report
“I spent most of my morning and evening before and after school fetching water from a source that was two hours away from my home. I hardly got any time to complete my homework or play with my friends.”
Now thanks to our solar water pumping project in her community, her and her family have access to a tap nearby instead of facing this daily journey across difficult terrain to fetch water.
