Solar lamp-A dream of poor student in Bangladesh

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.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. So, it becomes a burden for them. But education is a fundamental right and they deserve to study as much as they can.

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.

The organization is trying to raise fund from the donors for this purpose using GlobalGiving platform. So 927$ is raised from sixteen donations where the total amount is15000$ for this project. 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.

This is our earnest request to the donors, please come forward and reduce the sufferings of those poor coastal people through donating for solar lights.We would like to thank all our donors for being so kind to us and we hope that you will continuously be with us for the betterment of the underprivileged coastal students.
