Solar Lantern lights up Ram’s Pots

Ram with his family

Ram’s pots are famous in Munj Ka Pura a remote village bordering the states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in India. Ram lives with his wife Pura, mother Ashiya and 3 children. Ram’s main source of income is pottery. But the amount they earn is meager and barely enough to take care of the entire household. Ram has to work in the fields to earn extra income to provide for his family.

As the village does not have any electricity Ram had to divide his time between pottery and farming but with the generous donation of a solar lantern from Kabir, Ram can make his pots during evenings after working in the fields thereby earning more income.
