Lighting Up A Village

Light Up A Village
Campaign by Cord Usa (RCN 270540459)
13 Students from the USA visiting Siruvani, Tamil Nadu this December. The group wants to provide solar lamps for an entire village near Siruvani. They do not have electricity, let us work together so that we can light up a village!

Story

These students are going on a 2-week service visit for the Winter holidays. They will be going there to teach hygiene and health solutions, build toilets, and compost pits and help them with their career aspirations.

These villages that are very remote, and several households do not have a continuous electrical supply. Bringing them solar lanterns will help them tremendously. We appreciate your generosity very much.

While cooking, farming, and studying after sunset were once a struggle using inefficient kerosene or paraffin lamps, the solar lantern now provides a cheap and practical source of light.

This solar lantern, a simple device, which is charged during the day from a communal rooftop solar panel, uses between five and seven watts of power and has a battery that lasts up to eight hours.

It also boasts a socket for charging mobile phones and a hand crank for topping up power.
