HYDERABAD, June 22: The Caritas Pakistan would provide solar energy to 300 families in Jati and Sujawal towns to rid them of energy crisis, said the executive secretary of the organisation's Hyderabad chapter, Mr Shams Shamoon.

He said in a statement issued here on Wednesday that Caritas Germany was cooperating in this project, which would be completed within six months. It was for the first time that Caritas Pakistan was commissioning such a project, he said.

He said the solar energy was being widely used in the world but in Pakistan, rural population did not have access to this cheap source of energy.
