Supporting education and underprivileged children

We renovated the Gopipura village school located near the Lucy Electric Manufacturing and Technologies site.

The school supports a population of 2,250 and the provision of three new classrooms will ensure access to education for the children in the local community. We also gave the school three new smartboards and installed an overhead water tank to provide the students with access to clean water. The Head Teacher has reported that, as a result of these improvements, he has had a substantial increase in parents wanting their children to attend the school.

Care in the community

Lucy Electric Brazil (LEBR) purchased new clothes for young girls in their community who have either lost their parents or are in a children’s home because of neglect.

The girls had only ever been given ill-fitting second-hand clothing before and being given clothes that were new brought many of these young girls to tears with delight. In addition, LEBR brought children of all ages from the local home to the site for Brazil’s Children’s Day, where they were given gifts they had specially requested. Activities like this help give vulnerable children something to look forward to and the feeling that they are not forgotten by their local community. In addition, LEBR regularly donates warm clothes and food to poor people in the local area.
