Flood victims in Pakistan have lights for the very first time, thanks to Epsom Soroptimists.
Epsom Soroptimists are delighted that in 2011, their generous aid to the flood victims of Pakistan resulted in villagers receiving solar powered lighting for their homes and villages – something that they have never enjoyed before. The homes now have a single bulb inside and another outside the front door, which means that the entire village has light at night.
Working in partnership with SI Karachi Central, SI Epsom & DIstrict (Sutton and Mole Valley) will be raising more funds to help yet more people.
STOP PRESS – ANOTHER £100 WAS GIVEN AT THE BRIGHTON CONFERENCE!
And the good news is that the original solar panels and lighting survived the more recent floods.
