Project Chirag

Project Chirag Project Chirag is a non-profit that harnesses solar power for sustainable rural development.

Project Chirag and the resultant youth movement by the name Chirag Light India Movement (CLIM) is an initiative run by the Chirag Rural Development Foundation. Launched in March 2010, this youth initiative aims to provide solar lights to those remote villages that do not have any access to electricity. The kerosene lamps currently used by many of these villagers not only emit poor quality light and take up a substantial part of their incomes but additionally release toxic fumes which result in an array of health and environmental problems. These fumes have lead to the death of several innocent village children. To ensure that these children have a brighter future, Project Chirag has already provided solar lighting to over 9900 households in 234 villages impacting the lives of over 50,000 people (impact as on June 2015)

Project Chirag looks forward to working in collaboration with other individuals and organizations and together see a ‘brighter’ future for India.

She doesn’t know it yet, but someone, somewhere, had decided that she deserved light. 🕯️

In the quiet of a home with no electricity, a little girl bends over a small solar lamp, because for her, this isn’t just light. It’s the difference between darkness and a few more hours to be a child. To read. To feel safe.

This World Humanitarian Day, we’re not just marking a date. We’re honoring every hand that has reached out, every donor who saw a stranger’s struggle and said, “let me help.”

Because that’s what humanity really looks like. Not grand gestures. Just a lamp passed into small hands. A tap of clean water cupped and lifted to a thirsty mouth. A page turned by lamplight, in a home that once went dark when the sun did.

To every one of you who has given, trusted, and believed in us, you are the reason a child can see her own future a little more clearly tonight.

You didn’t just donate. You lit something that will outlast you.

This light starts with you. 🧡

💧 276 JALKUNDS 💧
ONE MISSION: WATER SECURITY.

Across rural Maharashtra, Project Chirag has constructed 276 Jalkunds this year, turning every monsoon into an opportunity to recharge the earth.

These simple yet powerful rainwater harvesting structures capture rainwater, allowing it to slowly replenish groundwater, improve soil moisture, and help wells and borewells remain productive for longer.

Every Jalkund is more than a structure, it’s a step towards water-secure villages, resilient farming, and sustainable rural livelihoods.

This impact has been made possible through the generous support of our partners, including , , , .kadam.3192 and other and philanthropic supporters who share our vision of building water-secure communities.

🌧️ 276 Jalkunds. Thousands of lives. Countless drops conserved.
