Challenge

Pakistan has an acute energy crisis that it cannot resolve dramatically. A very large part of the rural population does not have the facility of electricity because they are either too remote, or it is found too expensive to connect their villages to the national grid station. According to recent Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) Pakistan findings that electricity coverage of both districts Umerkot and Mirpurkhas respectively stands at 72.9% and 79.2% and causing never ending poverty.

Solution

To provide alternate energy to 300 vulnerable households of off-grid 10 remote villages through solar energy in district Umerkot and Mirpurkhas in order to increase productive hours of more than 1929 male and female skilled workers and small shop owners as well as increase hours for study and homework to more than 3217 boys and girls living without grid electricity which causing generation to generation poverty.

Long-Term Impact

Renewable energy has the benefits over conventional energy resources that don't emit any effluents, pollutants and residues. The renewable energy technologies are considered to be most friendly technologies which are very much supportive in reducing emissions and developing healthy environment. All over the world, renewable energy projects have been implemented to avoid dependency over the conventional resources which have been a source of effluent emissions and endangering the environment.
