Alternative Energy Project

Bighnaharta Nepal, in partnership with GRID Alternatives and OHM Energy, has successfully brought clean, reliable solar energy to some of the most remote and underserved communities of Simkot, Humla. Through this initiative, we installed solar power systems in a girls’ hostel, a school for children with disabilities, and a rural health post. These projects have transformed daily life by providing stable electricity for lighting, heating, digital learning, and healthcare services — improving safety, comfort, education, and health, while reducing reliance on firewood and fossil fuels.


In 2024, Bighnaharta Nepal, in collaboration with GRID Alternatives, led a transformative renewable energy project in Simikot Bazar, Humla—one of Nepal’s most remote and underserved regions. With the support of a group of passionate international travelers, we installed a 13 kW solar energy system at the Mahila Fader Girls Hostel, home to 20 girls aged 6 to 17 from across the Humla district.

Before this intervention, the hostel had no access to the national electric grid. Girls and staff relied on flashlights and candles for studying and daily chores. With no lighting in kitchens or bathrooms and no heating during long, freezing winters, their safety, health, and learning environment were severely compromised.

The new solar installation has transformed their living conditions. Reliable electricity now powers LED lighting, electric heaters, laptops, projectors, and an induction stove—enhancing education, safety, hygiene, and comfort. The burden of firewood collection has been reduced, and the girls now have a healthier, more dignified living space.

This 13 kW solar system is more than a technical upgrade—it’s a symbol of energy justice. At Bighnaharta Nepal, we are committed to climate resilience and equitable access to opportunity. With this project, we are lighting the path toward a brighter, more empowered future for the girls of Mahila Fader.
