Dear Supporters,
As we reflect on the progress made in the last quarter, we are reminded of the deep connection between the health of our planet and the well-being of its people. Thanks to your continued generosity, we are steadily advancing our mission in Nepal, where the challenge of inadequate energy solutions is being met with innovation and hope.
The Challenge:
In our last update, we shared the heartbreaking reality that 8,500 women and children in Nepal are annually affected by the harmful emissions from traditional cooking stoves. These stoves, while essential to daily life in rural areas, pose a serious health risk. Additionally, the vast off-grid communities in the Surkhet District continue to struggle with unreliable energy sources, limiting access to basic healthcare services and opportunities for sustainable development.
But where there is challenge, there is also opportunity—and we are seizing it together. In this quarter, we've made significant strides in implementing renewable energy solutions and enhancing healthcare access for those in need:
1. Renewable Energy Deployment
We’ve successfully fundraised for 3 new solar panels, we ust need to raise funds for 2 more and then we can hook up a rural health clinic to power for the first time, this will mean we can the fundraise for fridges and start to stock essential medications as well as have lights and resorurcs for the whole centre.
3. Clean Stove Enhancement
Our team are currently looking at alternative tove options for the home and getting costings for us to roll out in 2025, until then our team has been busy holding community events to talk about fires and carbon in the home and encouraging people to cook outside the home in the short term.
As we head into the next quarter, our focus will be on scaling our renewable energy efforts and expanding our health initiatives. We plan to install more solar-power and find a new solution to the stoves and cooking.
Together, we are proving that the smallest spark can indeed ignite a revolution of change. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
