Solar Energy for the Poor ...

MGR’s innovative Solar Energy Project aims to provide clean and renewable power to the poorest people of the world.

Lack of access to affordable electricity is a major cause of poverty in rural areas of developing countries, which is why MGR has set up this project to provide solar power for the poor.

Once it is set up, the solar panel system will enable a poor family to save on electricity costs, kerosene costs for lamps, provide a means for children to study at night and to remain cool in the hot summers.
The acute electricity shortage in Pakistan is creating extreme misery for its population and especially the poor in daytime temperatures touching 46 degrees Celsius.
For this reason, MGR is running this project first in Pakistan and will then expand to other areas of the world.
Each Solar Panel System will cost £1,150.00 including installation. – Part donations welcome

System will have a capacity to run an electric fan and at least 2 energy saving bulbs.

The life of a solar panel is approximately 20+ years!
