In Nepal’s brick factories, entire families live and work for six months each year under harsh conditions without clean water, sufficient food, or access to medical care. Children often work alongside adults instead of attending school.
Peace Child Ministry, together with a church, distributed solar lights to families in a brick factory in Bungamati, Kathmandu. In their bare, dim living spaces, the lights have been a safe and valuable tool— replacing hazardous options like open flames and bringing some hope to their everyday lives.
Solar lights have been especially helpful during the frequent power outages. The Nepal Anglican Church distributed lights to a village in Dhading, where children have been able to continue studying and eat their meals without disruption. For families living in rural and underserved areas, this simple gift has brought comfort, stability, and a sense of normalcy. It has eased daily challenges and allowed children to focus on their education, even in difficult circumstances.
Hope rises, dignity returns, and a brighter path unfolds— one solar light at a time.
