Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) is an environmental development organization that has been trying to reduce the sufferings of the coastal people by supporting solar lamps since 2014.
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 Banishanta union as the first ever solar union in Bangladesh because of the renewable energy promotional activities of BEDS. Around 75% people of the union are now using renewable energy. Kerosene selling shops have been reduced from the union. Students are continuing their study at night with the help of solar lamp without any problem. Social security is also increased for local people. During Covid-19, this lamp becomes helpful for local people because, they can work at night for their income generation. But in the Sundarbans region, a lot of areas still have no electricity. So, we should consider about them and help them to minimize their problems.
We are extremely grateful to our donors for their continuous support. We would like to request all our donors to start monthly recurring donations for our project.

Most of the Sundarbans coastal region of Bangladesh is also non electrified and living in dark at night due to lack of electricity and increased kerosene price. Due to their poverty, parents can hardly purchase Kerosene for their children’s education purpose. As a result, school students of the coastal areas can’t continue their study at night for lack of electricity.
Considering the situation, Bangladesh Environment and Development Society is trying to raise fund from the donors for this purpose using GlobalGiving platform. So far we have raised 1,139$ from twenty five donations and expect to draw the donors kind attention and get the total amount 15000$ for this project very soon. It is our expectation that by 2021 we will be able to raise the total fund for this project. We have been communicating with the local people regularly about the progress of our project.
We would like to thank all our donors for their contribution and faith for us. It is also our cordial request to all our donors to start monthly recurring donation from now. For recurring donation, please find the link below;
