Family First Program

2012 Goal Is To Equip 3 families With Solar Power

Our Family First program is committed to help families out of poverty by installing reliable, sustainable electricity from solar power. A solar kit consists of 300 watts solar power with an inverter, two 50 watt LED light bulbs, an efficient wood burning stove, 2 portalbe solar powered lanterns and batteries. These families are too poor to afford grid electricity so every qualified candidate in the Family First program is off-grid.

Since families living in extreme poverty use a higher proportion of their income to buy wood, kerosene or charcoal for cooking fuel and lighting this leaves little for the essentials. The burning of wood and kerosine is a common practice and has an added cost of indoor air health hazard which increase incidences of respiratory diseases.
