Most of the Sundarbans coastal region, villages are encircled in darkness after the sunset 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; as their parents can’t support them with required kerosene.
To continue coastal areas school students’ education and reduce the suffering from darkness, 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. 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.
BEDS is trying to raise fund from GlobalGiving for supporting the coastal students with solar lamp. We have been communicating with the local people regularly about the progress of our project.
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.
