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 Rohingya people but whenever we read about them in the news we know we can do a part to help their situation.
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, they surveyed and identified other needs besides food and shelter. They found out that the refugees need lighting, especially in the evening.
Nur Project For Rohingya
Our aim to is to provide electricity to them via solar panels. The package can light up a full tent area which caters for a family of 6 to 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
1) How can I support this project?
• You may support this project to infaq one set of solar panel for each family.
2) How much is each solar panel package?
• Full Solar Panel Package - $315
• Shared Solar Panel Package (shared with 5 other pax) - $70
Each solar panel package costs $315. You may infaq more than 1 solar panel package. The prices are inclusive of administrative costs, logistics, etc.
3) How many names can we insert onto the name board?
• We allow up to 5 names. You can share 1 solar package with 5 friends/relatives/siblings/family/etc. You may also request to put "Hamba Allah" • We have an option of only purchasing 1 part of the solar package - which will be shared with 5 other people. There'll be an additional cost due to the extra administration and printing & delivery of certificates.
4) How will I know when this project has been completed?
• We estimate this will take 2 months from the time you register your infaq. If there is a large infaq volume, the process may be delayed and may take longer.
