The project Solar Home Lighting to poor villagers in Rajasthan is running at low pace as donations raised through the Global Giving has fully utilized and new reimbursement has not received yet. We on behalf of the members of SED and on prospective beneficiaries’ behalf appeal to all of you who has supported our work and helped poor rural people to have light in their homes to donate more money. As journey is long and we have to light the homes of many more people.
So far we have already installed 50 solar lighting systems at the homes of poor people in villages of Digod, Kasampura, Parlia, Nayagaon and Mundla of Kota district in Rajasthan. They are installed free of cost and collection of $ 5 per month from each beneficiaries has been started. So far we have collected $ 1600. Mean while we have received complains from 18 persons for non –performing of devices and same were attended and rectified. We have organised training programmes for 15 youths for providing training in repair and maintenance of these solar system in these villages during the reporting period. Presently people are having 6 to 9 hours light daily depending upon the number of bulbs used at a time.
The SED through its GVK developed demonstration centre to step up our efforts to reach as many villagers as possible. We have identified 100 more beneficiaries from 5 villages, that we can stall solar systems. As funds are exhausted we are unable to cater the demand from new beneficiaries and sought new donations from all of you.
The SED staff and all the beneficiaries say thank you very much for your support and help in enlighten life of poor women & children in this desert region.
