Solar Lanterns Distribution in Hatton

Sri Lanka 2024

On March 17th, lanterns were given out in the Poystan Estate located in the Dickoya area of the Nuwara Eliya district in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. The estate is home to 270 vulnerable families who primarily work in plantations. 50 solar lanterns were provided to the 50 most vulnerable families who face challenges in accessing electricity and often have to allocate a significant portion of their daily income towards covering electricity expenses.
The community expressed gratitude for the lantern distribution, as it will assist them in their daily tasks and support their children’s education.
