Our planet’s health is intricately tied to our own well-being. In the heart of Nepal, where the air hangs heavy with both promise and peril, a transformative project is taking root. Let’s explore how we’re lighting the way toward a healthier future.
The Crisis
Cooking Stoves and Tragedy: Each year, approximately 8,500 women and children in Nepal face a silent menace—the effects of polluting cooking stoves. These stoves emit harmful smoke, silently claiming lives.
Off-Grid Communities: In the Surkhet District, where electricity is scarce, communities live off the grid. Their resilience is admirable, but their health suffers due to inadequate energy sources.
Our Mission
Renewable Energy: We’re introducing renewable energy solutions to these off-grid communities. Solar panels, wind turbines, and sustainable practices will replace the smoke-filled stoves.
Healthcare Transformation: Clean energy isn’t just about light; it’s about life. With reliable power, we can enhance healthcare facilities, refrigerate vaccines, and provide better medical services.
Sustainability and Independence: By getting communities off the grid, we empower them. Independence means dignity. Sustainability means resilience.
The Numbers
How You Can Illuminate Change
Support: Your contribution fuels this transformation. From solar panels to training programs, every rand matters.
Advocate: Share our story. Let others know that renewable energy isn’t just about saving the planet; it’s about saving lives.
In the quiet moments when the sun sets over Surkhet, we envision a brighter tomorrow—a tomorrow where energy heals, sustains, and empowers. Thank you for being part of this journey toward health and hope.
Remember, the smallest spark can ignite a revolution.
