Bangladesh Environment and Development Society 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 Banisanta union as a solar union.
Impact:
More than 75% families of the Banishanta union are now using renewable energy. Now, after the distribution of the solar lamp, solar generator and solar battery, education of coastal areas school students’ has improved.
Feedbacks from the beneficiaries:
A supported family’s school going children’s express their feelings ‘‘we are so happy that we can continue our study by using solar light. After getting the solar lights from BEDS our academic result has been highly improved. Some of our school friends are going to drop out from schools as they can’t study at night for increased price of kerosene. We requested our respected donors to help them to continue study by giving solar lights. ’’
Parent of the supported students express ‘‘In past I worked hard but I couldn’t get enough money to buy kerosene for my children’s education purpose. As a result my children’s study will hamper. Thank you so much Bangladesh Environment and Development Society and the respected donors for helping our children’s continue study. ’’
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;
