They felt threatened. They didn’t want girls going out of the house. They thought that we were there to corrupt them . . . We always think that these [obstacles] are exaggerated but they are not.”

The report, supported by the MacArthur Foundation, estimates that 65 low- and middle-income countries are losing approximately $92 billion per year by failing to educate girls to the same standards as boys, and a 12 percent reduction in world poverty could be achieved if all students in low-income countries obtain basic reading skills in school.

Harish’s organisation Selco Solar Light in Bangalore was responsible in helping IIMPACT find a unique solar solution to power laptops and computers donated to us by various organizations. As teaching aids, these laptops were of no use in our Learning Centres in far-flung villages with no access to electricity. Selco helped us to design, create and install a one-of-a-kind solution using a DC-to-DC convertor specially made for this purpose. This helped IIMPACT substantially lower our investment in this project as well as arrive at a beneficial, practical and workable solution.

Courtesy Selco and Harish, a large number of IIMPACT’s girls have directly benefitted. The “solar powered laptop” occupies a pride of place in our Learning Centres and is fully maintained locally by the girl’s parents who were trained by Selco for this purpose.

We wish Harish all success in his future endeavours. Three cheers for him !
