Solar lantern helps Chittar Singh to see better in the dark

Thanks to your wonderful gift of a Solar Lantern an elderly couple Chittar Singh and and Teeja Devi living in a remote village in India can see light in their homes. Their village Beed Pinarpura is near the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan. The tiny village of 17 families does not have electricity and people depend on oil lamps for their day to day activity.

Chittar Singh is 75 years old and his eyesight is very weak and he can hardly see. With the help of the lantern he is now able to see better in the dark. Earlier after sunset his life used to come to a halt but now they can wait after sunset to prepare dinner and also spend some time with neighbours.

Chittar Singh has two sons who work as laborers in New Delhi. They send money to him every month. As both of them cannot work they have to manage with the small amount they receive from their children.

Thank you, Barbara, for this gift!
