Most of the Sundarbans coastal area is non-electrified and Sundarbans coastal communities living in dark at night due to lack of electricity and increased kerosene price. School students of the coastal areas can’t continue their study at night for lack of electricity.
Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) is an environmental development organization which has been trying to reduce the sufferings of the coastal people by supporting solar lamps since 2014 because promoting renewable energy is one of the focal sectors of the organization. BEDS has already supported 3000 coastal families by giving solar lamp, solar home system, solar generator and solar battery. In addition three solar stations have been installed for community’s electricity facility.
The organization is trying to raise fund from the donors for this purpose. So far we have raised 705$ from eleven donors and expect to draw the donors kind attention and get the total amount 12987$ for this project. It is our expectation that by 2030 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.
This is our heartiest appeal to the donors, please come forward and reduce the sufferings of those poor coastal people through supporting solar energy for the deprived people.
