Thanks to your support and contributions we have reached the original goal and will be able to provide solar lighting kits to 50 Cambodian families! The project has been such a success that we have decided to extend it in order to finance another 50 families, for a total of 100!
The first shipment of lighting kits that were donated by you will arrive next week and we will immediately take them to the village to install in houses, set up small local entrepreneurs, and do more workshops and demonstration.
As mentioned in the previous report, the success and interest of the program within the village has been even greater than expected and we are now setting up local entrepreneurs that can supplement their income by selling and maintaining solar lighting kits within the village. So your original donations will now affect way more than just 50 families. To add on to that, our partner organization in the village, was so impressed with the success of solar in this community that they have now applied and RECEIVED a grant to put solar energy systems in key facilities and public spaces fro the village, such as the ranger station, community center, and schools. This is going to make a HUGE difference in the lives of the entire community, not just a few households.
One again, thank you for your incredible support with this project! I hope you can help us with our new goal of funding another 50 families! Please send this to family and friends!
Please keep an eye open for more updates and pictures soon!
