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.
