25 years of Khandel Light
To celebrate (and to raise funds!) we are running the London Marathon on April 27th.
If the world was a village of just 100 people, 28 would have no access to clean water, 18 would have no toilet of their own, and 5 children would die each year from ensuing diseases.
55 would be living on less £5.50 per day, 8 of whom would have to manage on a daily budget of £1.70.
Over the last 25 years Khandel light has worked with our partner NGO, Nirman Sanstha Khandel, in the desert state of Rajasthan, to address the consequences of climate change-induced drought, poor sanitation and housing, limited educational opportunities, especially for girls, and unemployment.
Some of the ways KL has helped are listed below :
722 water houses, £130 Drinking water (5000L) is supplied to 350 water houses every month. £3.50 each fill.
425 toilets, £130
Over 1600 students have been able to continue their education. £30.00 p.a
Over 700 girls attend the Girls' Parliament four times a year where they discuss, debate, and highlight issues to be addressed. £5 a student.
