Solar Lantern helps Gopal Lal to take up tailoring job

Gopal Lal with his new Solar Lantern
Dear Johnny,

Gopal Lal who is 34 years old lives with his 4 children in Beed Pinarpura a village near Jaipur in Rajasthan. He lost his wife a few years back and has been singlehandedly raising his 2 sons and 2 daughters. The village has around 17 families and all of them belong to the Bairva caste. The village has no electricity, the nearest road is one kilometer away, and the one hand pump they have for water is mostly out of order. The nearest village Chaksu is 2.5 miles away.

Like most men in this village Gopal Lal works as a laborer and manages his home on USD 2 per day. He is looking forward to doing some stitching work to increase his income. Thanks to your generous donation of a Solar Lantern, Johnny, he can now stitch clothes in the evening and increase his income.
