Through the traditional media of puppetry plays and songs, they establish an on-going dialogue with rural communities. They emphasize on various social issues through their plays and help villagers to raise a voice against injustice and to fight for their rights.
The model is being replicated in Africa, Latin America and south Asia. Women from countries such as Tanzania, Uganda, Gambia, Malawi, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Rwanda and Bhutan are trained here for six months. They come to learn the art of making solar lanterns, solar lamps, parabolic cookers and solar water heaters. The women learn through listening and memorising, using colour-coded charts that help them to remember the permutation and combination of the wires without needing to read or write.
At the end of six months, they are fluent in the complicated engineering process of making these simple solar products that can change their lives back in their villages. They are the “Solar Mamas of Tilonia”, who learn these skills and become ambassadors for solar power in their villages that don’t have electricity, water heaters or cooking gas.
This community also runs night school centers for kids that are busy carrying out the farming activities and livestock grazing during the day. In addition, it organizes children’s parliament that help kids empower the democratic process in rural India.
