Madhu can now study at night!

Madhu is 15 years old and lives with her parents Pappu Lal and Kanchan Devi in Beed Pinarpura a village near the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan. Her father works as a  labourer on daily wages in Jaipur. Her mother works in the farms. Madhu goes to school in the nearby village, Chaksu, along with her brother. In the evenings she has to help her mother with the household chores, including fetching water from the village hand-pump which is often out of order. By the time she is finished, she barely has enough time to do her homework.

Thanks to your gift of a solar lantern Fran, Madhu can now study late in the evenings. Since she has the lantern to light her way, she can even go to fetch the water before sunrise or after sunset.

Thank you, Fran, for giving Madhu many extra hours in a day.
