Street lighting
In
large parts of Nepal, the power supply is a big problem,
especially
in the remote places. Frequently, there is no electricity
or only
irregularly. Therefore, there is no street lighting.
This is a
problem for persons who have to walk for an hour
or two from the
principal streets up the hills back
to their homes in the mountains.
Apart from the natural light
by the moon and the stars, these paths
are in total darkness.
Due to the additional aspect of water
shortage,
electricity is being cut several times daily during some
hours.
Actually,
the purchase of solar driven lamps is the only alternative
for street
lighting. Currently, the
Kali Ma Foundation Nepal, Inc.
is working together with the Social
Club Dolalghat on a reliable concept
for street lighting in Dolalghat
and surroundings.
