Why OCOL?
As per India census 2011, out of 635,000 (6.35 lakh) villages in the country, more than 100,000 (1 Lakh) villages are un-electrified. Even most of the electrified villages suffer from frequent power outages and load shedding. Millions of school children who live in these semi urban and rural areas have no access to clean and safe lighting that can help them study after dark. Over 130 million (13 crore) school going children in our country still depend on kerosene or oil based lamps for studying at night. The position is almost similar in several other developing countries of Asia, Africa and South America where dependency on kerosene lit lamps is very high. Kerosene lamps are accident prone, give very low light, and emit smoke, soot and toxic fumes affecting the eye sight and health of students adversely. OCOL is conceived as a major initiative to address this problem effectively.
Our Mission
One Child One Light’s mission is to support every underprivileged child’s right to education by providing a safe, clean and economic, solar powered lighting solution.
OCOL helps children get access to clean, safe and affordable lighting to help them in their studies and in much needed places such as schools and within their homes. This is done in two ways, firstly by directly providing them portable Solar LED study Lights to study and secondly by installing solar power packs in remotely located schools which are used for lighting up classrooms, toilets, offices and powering computers.
In fulfilling its mission OCOL deploys a two pronged approach…
- Sensitize – Spread awareness on the problems faced by school and college going children who use kerosene / fossil fuel powered lamps
- Partner – Partner with NGOs, Government, NRIs, Volunteers, Philanthropists and corporates appropriately integrate OCOL as part of their CSR initiatives.
Impact
Under various initiatives and programs OCOL has so far reached out to over 1.5 Million deprived students in India and a few other counties of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
