Solar lighting in India with d.light design

This video shows the long-term benefits that sustainable lighting brings to school children and others.

As energy consumption soars in India's large commercial and industrial centres, 45% of the population living in rural areas still do not have access to any energy other than that produced by burning wood, cow dung and kerosene. These regularly cause fires and smoke-related health problems. As part of our In Their Lifetimes appeal, Christian Aid's partnership with d.Light design is now bringing safer, more sustainable lighting solutions to thousands of the poorest and most marginalised households in Jharkhand state.

Thank you for supporting the In Their Lifetime Appeal and making this work possibe.
