Literate mothers, literate children

Literate mothers make for the strongest advocates for literate daughters. We help Indian girls stay in school by making sure they have an alternate source of light when the sun sets on the day’s chores, and they have a moment to themselves to finish their homework. With little to no power-supply in large swathes of rural and semi-rural regions in India, girl children suffer from the dim illumination of kerosene lamps—just another problem among many that have stacked the odds against them. We help them surmount some of these odds with the help of cost-effective battery-operated LED lamps to study with at night.
