ARTA GALLERY  |  14 DISTILLERY LANE, TORONTO WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 1, 2017 DOORS OPEN  |  6:00 p.m. EVENT  |  6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. TICKET PRICE  |  $20 solarfornepal.weebly.com Solar for Nepal is a fundraising event in support of farmers in rural Nepal hosted by ELSE and SunFarmer. 80% of Nepal’s citizens rely on agriculture for income - yet 8 months of dry climate limit production. With automatic, controlled irrigation via solar water pumps the length of the growing season can be doubled, and increase incomes by 100-200%. Additional to irrigation, other applications of solar water pumps include; drinking water, livestock, and fish farming. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward the down payments for the installation of these solar-powered irrigation systems.

For all those who support the important work of SunFarmer, come together at Arta Gallery on Wednesday, February 1st to view a private exhibition of award-winning photographer Kristin Lau's work from Nepal, participate in a photo auction, see a short documentary film screening, listen to solar leaders speak, eat, drink and celebrate our fundraising efforts this year! Tickets ($20) for the February 1, 2017 event can be purchased here, and you can find out more about the event here. If you're interested in the project, but can't make the event, you can learn more about it and make a donation directly to SunFarmer online today!
