Solar Energy Light in the Life of Rural People

500 Solar Lights needed in village communities on urgent basis

Most people in the villages of rural areas are without adequate electricity. So, energy provision for all remains a key problem and challenge for thousand of poor people who often have a limited choice that convert energy into useful services. The families in rural villages mostly use kerosene oil which is costly and expensive and is readily available to them.

In the villages of District Badin and in its UCs the households in unelectrified villages use kerosene as a source of energy for lighting. It is proposed to provide Solar Lights to those households by replacing the kerosene lanterns with solar lighting devices. This will provide better illumination and kerosenesmokefree indoor environment thereby enhance productivity and quality village and, facilitate education of their children and improve lifestyle. Solar Lanterns (SL) are considered to be the most viable option to provide basic electricity need for lighting.

On average it is dark by 6:30 pm; people in the villages are unable to do extra work and are at risk of snake bite and many other creping poisons insects. Solar Lighting allows rural families to extend their workday into the evening hours. Fumes from kerosene lamps are a serious health problem in where electric light is unavailable, women and children breathing kerosene fumes inhale are health at risk. By the use of Solar Lanterns these issues are resolved.

Donate to this project to help poor rural families to have solar lights at their village level, one family solar light will cost 1,500 PKR and in US $ 15 only, we need some 7,500 US $ within quick time to help 500 poor families,
