    Providing electricity to the village will enable children to study at home and at night, thus improving the quality of primary education, which is essential for community development. Micro hydropower projects like this hope to inspire other villages and encourage rural development in Nepal.

It can be used for lighting, heating water, and cooking. Electricity brings hope for their future and it is a breakthrough in their lives.
