Lighting Up Lives: Successful Completion of the Solar Energy Program in Humla
Bighnaharta Nepal announces the successful installation and completion of the Solar Energy Program at Mahila Feeder Girls Hostel, Simikot Bazar, Humla. This initiative, in collaboration with GRID Alternatives, has transformed the lives of 25 young girls by providing sustainable, reliable electricity in one of Nepal’s most remote regions.
Key Achievements
- 13KW solar energy system installed
- 24/7 electricity in study areas, living spaces, kitchens, and bathrooms
- LED lighting, laptops, and projectors enhancing digital learning opportunities
- Electric heaters and induction stoves improving comfort and reducing firewood dependency
- Training provided to local electricians and hostel staff for system maintenance
Why This Matters
Access to electricity is more than just a convenience—it is a catalyst for change. For the girls at Mahila Fader, reliable energy means:
- Improved educational outcomes: The ability to study after dark and access digital learning tools.
- Enhanced safety and well-being: Proper lighting and heating for a comfortable living environment.
- Empowerment: The opportunity to pursue their dreams and break free from the cycle of poverty.
With access to clean and renewable energy, these girls can now study after dark, stay warm in freezing winters, and enjoy a safer, more comfortable environment. This project is a stepping stone toward expanding solar solutions in other off-grid public spaces across Humla.
Looking Ahead
The success of this initiative paves the way for future solar projects in schools, health posts, and community centers in Humla. Through sustainable energy solutions, we aim to empower more communities and improve lives.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to GRID Alternatives and all supporters who made this possible. Together, we are creating a brighter, more sustainable future for Humla!
