Women Empowerment

Pushan puts emphasis on women’s electricity needs which are generally overlooked by the male decision make of the family in our area. The society has little appreciation for women’s need of electricity in the kitchen and girls’ education. Women cook in darkness. They wash dishes after dinner outside in the darkness and are susceptible to snake and insect bites. Girls generally do not go to school. Their entire lifestyle is adjusted around unavailability and unreliable nature of power supply.

Women stopped using kerosene lamp and are happy to have light in their kitchen

Pushan discovered that even inside one’s home, women have lesser access to electricity. A house getting a solar power system does not consider to connect lights in the kitchen, backyard or dishwashing area. Since then Pushan made its mission that during each installation it will be ensured that every kitchen has a light.
