Sundarbans coastal people of Bangladesh are living in the dark. Villages are enveloped in darkness after the sunset. For solving these problems and in a step forward to help the community, Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) has been working to promote clean energy at the non-electrified Sundarbans coastal area in Bangladesh.
Impact:
To light up villages at night for coastal student’s education, an initiative is underway to distribute different types of 2800 Solar Lamps and 504 solar home systems among Sundarbans coastal area families and install three solar stations.
Feedbacks from the beneficiaries:
A supported school student expresses his feelings ‘‘this solar light is not just a light, it is a blessing in our daily life. Now I can continue my education by studying at night. Thank a lot for giving me the chance for continuing my study. Some of school friends are going to drop out from schools as they can’t study at night for increased price of kerosene. I request honorable donors to help them to continue study by giving solar lights. ’’
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;
