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.
