Making the right difference

The substantial reduction in usage of the kerosene in the beneficiary households helped them to save cost on kerosene. Before the implementation of the OGH project each household was using 5 to 6 liters of kerosene every month. Now they never use kerosene lamps and use the saved money for other productive purposes.

Ending the long wait

Due to the remote location, the people in the Island had very little hope of getting uninterrupted power supply from the grid. The project gave them the confidence of being able to achieve a state of energy self-sufficiency, at least at the local level.
