Imagine fleeing away from home and seeking refuge in another country where support is little and life is full of insecurities. Most of us wouldn't understand the plight of the Rohingyas but whenever we read about them in the news we know we can do a part to help their situations.
One of our partners Hezom International recently went down to Cox Bazaar @ Bangladesh where the Rohingya refugees are staying to distribute rations and supplies to them. While they were there, there surveyed and identified other needs besides food and shelter. And they found out that the refugees need lights especially in the evenings.
Nur Project For Rohingya
- Our aim to is to provide electricity to them via solar. The package can light up a full tent area which caters for a family of 6-10 people.

Some Facts:
- At the Rohingya refugee camps, there is no grid electricity connection.
- Refugees use solar panels, candles and kerosene lamps for light at night.
Solar panel package:
Each solar panel contains a number of photovoltaic solar cells, which are capable of converting direct sunlight into electrical power. During daylight hours, the panels on the roof collect the energy from the sun and feed it to an inverter. This even happens on cloudy days!
Each solar panel package consists of:
i) Solar panel
ii) Wirings
iii) Lightings
iv) Battery
v) Installation Service
