Solar Lantern will help Arjun Lal increase his income

Arjun Lal who is 75 yrs old lives with his wife Keshar Devi and son in Beed Pinarpura a tiny village near the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan, India. This village has never had electricity. Arjun Lal does farming for a living but due to the scarcity of rains in this part of the country he does not earn much.

His eyesight is worsening because of his age, and since he cannot see well, he has to wait till it is bright before he can get to work, and has to be back home well before dark. This considerably reduces the number of hours he can spend in the field.

Ever since he got the new solar lantern, which was made possible by the donation you made, David, Arjun has been taking the lantern with him to the fields. He is now able to see his way through the village’s mud paths and fields and spend more time in the fields, and is hopeful of increasing his income from USD 25 a month to something more.

Thank you, David, for improving the quality of life of Arjun Lal and his family.
