Solar lantern brings joy to Rajender’s family

Rajender-Rajanti-P1030137
Dear Sculpt the Future,

Rajender and his wife Rajvanti are thrilled to have a solar lantern in their home. They have 5 children: Naresh (age 15), Amit (age 12), Rinki (age 9), Kareena (age 5) and Roshini (age 2). Rajender is the only earning member of his family — he works as a laborer for daily wages in the nearby village. Like all the 11 houses in the tiny hamlet of Kanjra Ki Dhani, located in the Indian state of Rajasthan, Rajender and Rajvanti did not have electricity. With the generous donation of a solar lantern from Sculpt the Future Foundation, Rajender’s children can study at night, his wife can cook food late in the evenings, and he can charge his mobile phone for free, whereas earlier he had to spend five rupees each time he recharged his mobile.

Thank you for your generous contribution. Rajendar and his family are grateful for your kindness!
