Solar lantern helps Kamla Devi save money on oil!

Kamala devi cooking in the light of the Solar Lantern

Dear Khalid,

Kamla Devi lives with her husband Shyoram and two children in Beed Pinarpura, a village near the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan. The village does not have electricity or any other facility. The nearest village Chaksu is 4 kms (2.4 miles) away and her husband works there as a laborer on daily wages. She has led a life of hardship as the meager amount they get is not sufficient to run the household. Her children study in a primary school which is 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) away.

Thanks to your wonderful gift of a solar lantern, Kamala Devi can save some money on kerosene oil which was earlier used for lighting the oil lamps. She can now cook in the dark and her children can also study till late night.

Thank you Khalid for making Kamala Devi’s life more bearable!
