LEVEL- UP

The program continues to this day with over 5000 systems installed in various regions throughout Nepal. The program provides villagers with an installment payment plan for a small  Lotus Energy 36 watt individually owned system.
Solar Home System (SHS).

As a result of the success of the LEVEL-UP program, awareness about solar PV blossomed in the villages.  However, not all villagers were eligible for systems and communities could not apply for the loan program.  In order to enable communities to benefit from clean solar energy for lighting, TV and radio cassette players, Lotus Energy embarked on a mission to fund donors who could sponsor all or part of a community system. No system is completely free and village committees are encouraged to participate financially as much as possible and also with input such as local transportation, installation assistance, etc.

Programs
HLF is currently coordinating and developing several programs. The first
Solar Sisters program took place in March 1999; we are now recruiting volunteers to participate in upcoming programs. A feasibility study is underway for our 
Home Employment and Lighting Program (HELP).

We are currently seeking funds to support a village thanka painting school which could potentially provide much  employment to local people.
