Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your continuing support to our project providing much-needed solar lamps to families living without electrical connections here. These families living in remote barrios are very much disadvantaged especially children who are in school and who need to study in the evenings. Without solar lamps, they can do nothing and their grades and chances in life suffer. During this reporting period, we devise an expanded strategy of not only providing solar lamps but also improving the overall economic situation of our beneficiaries by providing them with alternative livelihoods in order to expand their economic base. One of the promising livelihoods here is the production of green charcoal coming from twigs and branches of trees which naturally regenerates providing steady and sustainable incomes. The charcoal is sold to be used in small industries such as bread making in the city and commands high price. We have supported a total of 8 families in this manner.
Hoping for your continuing support to our project.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora Sayre
