Come, Check out the link and comment!
Boond is a very simple social enterprise. We try to solve the three biggest development problems in India (adequate light, clean water and pest control) by providing poor people living in remote areas of the country with solar lamps, water purifiers and mosquito nets as a part of our Boond development Kit. Since we get them manufactured in bulk and bundle them together, we manage to keep the costs (and overheads) low and hence price ourselves lower than the market. Furthermore, we run workshops to spread awareness and also recruit local people as ‘Boond Officers’ for our sales and collection agents, which has an additional benefit of employment generation. Our kits are also available through payment plans (3 and 6 month) for below poverty line (BPL) families to make them affordable and we work through NGO partners who provide us ground support.
Presently, we have been providing kits in Bengal and Manipur and have about 250 kits on the ground. We have also launched the platform last month to generate support for the movement.
