Solar lamp-A dream of poor student in Bangladesh

Major portions of the coastal region of Bangladesh are lacked of electricity. More than 90% people of the Sundarbans coastal region lives in the poverty line. 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.

To continue student’s education lighting up villages at night, 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. 

Impact:

80% of the community was Kerosene dependent but now this percentage has been reduced to 10% and expenditure for light reduced.

Feedbacks from the beneficiaries: 

A supported school going coastal children expresses his feelings ‘‘I am so grateful to BEDS and honorable donors for creating opportunities to continue my study during nigh time using solar light. My parents always try to give their best to educate me. But due to poverty they can hardly purchase Kerosene which was used for lamp to support my education purpose. With the support of this solar lamp, I can now read at night on my exam time ’’

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;
