Bringing Light and Hope: Solar Energy Projects for Remote Communities

Access to electricity is a basic necessity that most of us take for granted. However, in remote regions of Bangladesh, particularly in the makeshift settlements and Rohingya camps, the reality is far different. Many families are forced to live in tents without a reliable source of power, which makes even the simplest tasks difficult. At Sedekahsg, we are committed to addressing this challenge by providing solar energy solutions that bring light, safety, and hope to these vulnerable communities.

The Importance of Light for Daily Life

Light is essential for safety, productivity, and quality of life. In Islam, providing light is an act that holds deep significance, symbolizing guidance and hope. Without electricity, people in these remote communities struggle to perform basic activities after sunset, such as studying, preparing food, and ensuring the safety of their families. Our solar energy initiative focuses on empowering these communities by addressing this critical need through sustainable and clean energy solutions.

How Our Solar Energy Initiative Works

We provide high-quality, portable solar panels designed for easy installation and maintenance. Each unit includes a solar panel, battery pack, cables, and lights, making it a comprehensive solution for lighting and ventilation within each tent. These solar panels are offered at a cost of SGD 75 per unit. Our dedicated local teams handle the installation and provide ongoing support to ensure the long-term effectiveness of these systems.

Once we reach our goal of equipping 200 tents with solar units, we organize a community-wide setup event. This event is not just about installation; it is an occasion for unity and hope. Donors receive updates in the form of photos and videos, demonstrating the real impact of their generosity.

Transforming Lives with Solar Energy

Our solar panel distributions have already made a significant difference in the lives of countless families. Beyond providing light, these panels enable children to study in the evenings, families to cook meals safely, and communities to feel more secure. The simple act of providing light has a ripple effect, improving health, education, and overall well-being.

Supporting this initiative is a form of sadaqah jariyah (continuous sedekah), where your contribution continues to benefit people long after it is made. It aligns with the Islamic principle of helping those in need and creating sustainable solutions for better living conditions.
