The solar home system consisting of a solar photo voltaic panel, battery, charge controller, wires, LED bulbs, switches were provided to families in Punma village in Jajarkot district, located in the hilly districts of Mid-Western region of Nepal. There is no public utility electricity in this village and the villagers use kerosene lamp for daily lighting. The families were selected in coordination with the local ward office. The solar home system is being provided to the families in a phase wise manner. In the first phase, the poorest families were chosen.
Ms. Srijana, one of the recipients of the solar home system, expressed happiness in receiving the system, which, she said, will contribute in better education of her children.
We thank you for your support.

Jajarkot is located in the hilly districts of Mid-Western region in Nepal. It is graded as the ninth remote district, which has road connection only up to the district headquarter and has very limited access to electricity and telephone. After promulgation of new constitution (in September 2015), Jajarkot district lies on province 6, and ECCA project is being implemented in Punma Village. As there is no electricity in the village, life is difficult. ECCA plans to provide solar light system to the villagers in a phase-wise manner, in coordination with the local ward office. To identify the poor and needy families, survey was done. Orientation on renewable energy / solar energy was also provided to the local women group members. The components of the solar light system (along with the battery) has been procured and the preparation is going on. The solar system will soon be handed over to the families. We thank you for your support.

ECCA provided solar lamp model “Pico” to the rural households in Punma village located in Jajarkot district, west Nepal.
Pico is manufactured by Green Light Planet, provides light which is three times brighter than the kerosene lamp and can be used for 72 hours without recharging. The solar panel of 350 mW is in-built on the back side of the lamp.
Pico has helped to displace kerosene lamp in these households, thereby making it easier for the children to study in the evening.
The villagers have expressed their gratitude for the support provided.
We thank you for your continued support.
