Awakenings
Hardship
Kiraska.. a tiny little village of barely a 100 people tucked away in the middle of nowhere
nestled in the heart of Rajor valley, 160 odd kms away
a tiny little hamlet forgotten by civilization and mankind, Kiraska like thousands of other villages across the country lives in a simpler ,harder time devoid of even the most basic of necessities like electricity.
Its a hard life eking out a living, the struggles etching itself into the lines on the faces of the people
Project Chirag, a mumbai based NGO has taken the first step in making their lives just a little bit better
I had the distinct pleasure of accompanying the Project Chirag team and documenting their mission to bring solar lamps to over a 1000 people in the valley
its a small start, but like all small starts its implications are huge.
Beyond addressing the health and financial issues caused by the traditional kerosene lamps, these solar lamps brought a sense of wonderment and hope of a better future
