Would you like to provide solar lanterns to a village in India?

It is estimated that about 1.6 billion people on this planet live without access to electricity, and 400 million of them are in India. The "Solar Lantern Project" aims to provide solar rechargeable lanterns to rural areas in India, where electricity is still not available. This project has been advocated and promoted by Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, Director- General of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), India.

Solar lanterns not only contribute to improving the quality of peoples' lives but help prevent global warming by reducing CO2 emissions.

IGES approves the project and has launched a support campaign to invite donations in order to set up one charging station with 50 lanterns in a village.

We look forward to your generous support to this initiative.
