The solar lights are working well. Our community is thankful. Residents from nearby villages have also shown interest in understanding and using the lighting systems.

I became confident after the Sugran workshops. I learned to prepare exotic, international dishes, something I would never have been able to without this project coming to our community. I have now started taking catering orders.
