This new picture of the day shows solar light for children delivered through patience and care. In an ultra-rural classroom, a lamp is not simply handed over. Time is taken to explain, to show, to ensure understanding. For children living without electricity, light means safety, learning, and dignity once the sun goes down.
To reach ultra-rural villages, we rely on the Truck of Life to navigate rough, broken roads. This vehicle allows us to deliver essential supplies, including medicines, water, tools, solar kits, and food. Logistics play a crucial role in our program; without access to fuel, spare parts, and the commitment to long days on the road, we would be unable to reach the patients in need.
