Rajesh can now earn money by taking up sewing jobs

DSCN0647-Rajesh Kanwar1
Dear Ashleigh,

Thank you for your wonderful gift of a solar lantern to Rajesh Kanwar and her family.

Electricity has not yet reached the village where Rajesh Kanwar stays, and the only light that her family knows is the light from kerosene lamps. Despite spending nearly 15% of the family income on buying kerosene for the lamps, the family has been forced to spend most of the night and evening in the dark.

Thanks to your donation of a  solar lantern, Rajesh can think about taking up her long cherished dream of starting a sewing business to make blouses and skirts. Now that she has an inexpensive source of light, she hopes to spend the time after sunset in completing her sewing jobs, thereby increasing the family income.

Thank you for lighting up Rajesh Kanwar’s life.
