Diwali
Diwali is known as the "Festival of Lights", is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. Before Diwali night people clean renovate and decorate their homes. On Diwali night Hindus dress up in new clothes or their best outfit light up diyas (lamps and candles) inside and outside their home participate in family puja typically to Lakshmi - the goddess of wealth and prosperity.

The world’s poor spends a staggering US$ 40 billion annually for their energy needs. This equals 10 to 25% of their precarious monthly household budgets on dirty fuels like kerosene. Many remote villages in tribal India are still without electricity. Just £15.00 buys a solar light which will give a family more than enough good light on a daily basis when fully charged. Women can continue with their work, without the toxic hazard of burning kerosene and more importantly children can study into the evening without damaging their eye sight. Whenever I am given a charity donation my first thought is which village needs solar lights!
