The Solar Home Lighting project in villages of Rajasthan has recently got donations of $ 2500 and picking pace. We on behalf of the SED and on prospective beneficiaries’ behalf appeal to all of you who has supported our work and helped in lighting homes of poor rural people to donate more money. As journey is long and we have to take more homes this year
So far, we have installed 60 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. Till date, we have collected $ 1840. This money was utlised to buy 9 more Soar Lighting Systems.
During the reporting period one training programme for 10 youths for providing training in repair and maintenance were organised in village Digod of Kota district of Rajasthan. Presently people are having 7 to 10 hours light daily depending upon the number of bulbs used at a time. Meanwhile we have received complaints from 11 households for non–performing of devices and same were attended and rectified.
The SED through its GVK developed demonstration centre to step up our efforts to reach as many villagers as possible. We have identified 120 more beneficiaries from these five villages, that we can stall solar systems.
The SED staff and all the beneficiaries say thank you very much for your support and help in enlighten life of poor women and children in this desert region.
