It’s been more than a year since the pandemic started last year; most of the time student’s stayed inside their house to avoid being infected from covid-19 virus. Schools also stopped and children’s study their lesson and modules at home. Major portions of the Sundarbans coastal region of Bangladesh are lacked of electricity. More than 80% people lives here below poverty line. Due to their poverty, parents can hardly purchase Kerosene for their children’s education purpose.
Impact:
To continue coastal areas school students’ education and reduce the suffering from darkness, Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) has already supported 3000 coastal families by giving solar lamp, solar home system, solar generator and solar battery. In addition, five solar stations have been installed for community’s electricity facility.
Local government declared Banisanta union as a solar union. More than 75% families of the Banishanta union are now using renewable energy. Students of the Banishanta union are continuing their study at night with the help of solar lamp.
Feedbacks from the beneficiaries:
A supported school going children express his feelings ‘‘I am so grateful to BEDS and honorable donors for creating opportunities to continue my study at night by using solar light. Some of my school friends are going to drop out from schools as they can’t study at night for increased price of kerosene. I request honorable donors to help them to continue study by giving solar lights. ’’
We would like to thank all our donors for being so kind to us and we hope that our kind hearted donors will spread out their helping hands for the betterment of the underprivileged coastal students by starting monthly recurring donations;
