Solar Lantern brings light to Pavithra Bai’s life

Pavithra Bai with her new Solar Lantern
Dear Kandace,

Pavithra is an old lady who has lived her entire life without electricity in Munj Ka Pura, a village in Rajasthan, India. The village does not have any roads, a hospital or a market. It has only one elementary school till the 5th grade. She lives with her husband, son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren.

Their monthly income, like the rest of the families in this tiny village, is a meager Rs. 500 (US $10). Out of the Rs. 500, she spends Rs. 100 on kerosene to light up the oil lamps. Kandace, Pavithra is extremely delighted to have a solar lantern thanks to your generous donation.

In addition to being economical, the family does not have to spend time cleaning and filling the lamps, nor worry about it catching fire. Her grandchildren can even study at night now!

Kandace, thank you for your donation to The Restoring Force!
