The Project Concept

The Light of Hope (LoH) project delivers quality e-education to the primary school children in remote areas with laptop and projector which is run by a high quality solar system. The solar system will supports mobile charging stations so that the income from the charging station will cover the cost of teacher's salary. 

The project will fundamentally change the perception of primary education in Bangladesh and later in other developing countries and enable an environment where the students will be actively engaged in classroom rather than a passive receiver.  


What We Need

The project components are divided in three components. 

Development of e-Education material: We already started to collect and develop the e-education materials for students from Standard 1-5. Once finished the whole curriculum will be stored and delivered to the primary schools in a laptop which will be used during the class. 

Training of the teacher: As the village primary school teachers are not accustomed with using e-education materials and no expertise of using laptops, the project will provide 2-weeks training on these issues. 

Solar system in school: The targeted schools are located in off-grid areas. Solar system will be installed in the schools to support the laptop and a mini-projector. 

We already raised fund for one school (USD 3500) by wining student competition and individual donations. In the pilot phase, we want to start with five schools. For the cost of solar systems, teachers training and e-Education material development, we need USD 20,000 more. Our first school will start operation in June, 2014. 


What your money can do

You may not realize the true power of a one dollar or ten dollar bill.

So, that's your dollar's worth. 

If you are interested to know about the financial calculation, estimation and design of the project, you are welcome to send us a request to bd.lightofhope@gmail.com we will get back to you ASAP.  


What you get

By donating to the project you'll get some unconventional yet wonderful perks. There is also opportunity to get a limited number of membership of the project. The members will get regular subscription of the project newsletters, annual reports etc. The Life-time members will have the opportunity to get involved in the decision making about the project, future activities and possibly visit to the schools. 

For future processing and claim of the perks, you are requested to send your email address to bd.lightofhope@gmail.com


Other Ways You Can Help

In fact, you can help us get connected with other donors, corporations for CSR fund, or just by simply sharing our story with our friends.
