> 500 children to solar cook*
>
> On April 29, 2017, a Solar Cooker Festival for 500 schoolchildren was held
> at Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya.  This celebration not only made solar
> cooking possible for 500 households, but was the inception of a sustainable
> solar cooker social enterprise to meet the high demand for solar cookers in
> Kakuma camp. A 2016 study by World Food Program engineer Godfrey Mawira
> showed that solar cooking was the second-most preferred method of cooking
> in Kakuma, even though very few solar cookers were available.
>
> Inexpensive, durable solar panel cookers called "Haines-Copenhagen”
> cookers were assembled in Kakuma by refugees from materials donated by
> Haines Solar Cookers. They should last 10 years with proper care.

> Training was provided by Faustine "Mama Solar” Odaba, and her Nairobi NGO,
> NAREWAMA.  Significantly, Ms. Odaba had been one of the trainers in 1995
> when Solar Cookers International (SCI) first introduced solar cookers in
> Kakuma.  Before the festival, 50 refugee women were trained to use the
> cookers, and they in turn trained the children.  The festival took place at
> Hope Primary School in Kakuma Camp Four.  During the festival, "Mama Solar”
> set up fifteen cookers and cooked a wide variety of food, including rice,
> vegetables chicken, eggs, cabbage, ugali, beans and cake.  The children sat
> in neat rows as trainers handed out the cookers, cooking pots, food and
> water.  All the children assembled their own cookers, and successfully
> cooked delicious noodles before an enthusiastic crowd of family members and
> relatives.  The children were elated and proudly showed off their new
> cookers.

> This project was a partnership between Haines Solar Cookers, WFP engineer
> Godfrey Mawira, the National Council of Churches of Kenya, and Simplified
> Technologies for Life, which has produced "Suryakumbh” Solar Cooking
> Festivals for almost 120,000 participants in India, and holds the Guinness
> Record for the most people solar cooking at the same time: 7,438. Funding
> was provided by Haines Solar Cookers and the San Diego, California, Rotary
> Club. Additional support and resources came from Solar Household Energy
> (SHE). Other partners included Eco-Mandate, which sells solar cookers in
> Chuka, Kenya, the Alliance for African Assistance, a San Diego-based
> refugee resettlement organization, and the Rotaract Club of the University
> of California, San Diego, which made 500 Water Pasteurization Indicators
> (WAPIs) for the Festival participants.
>
>
> Follow up studies are planned, and Board member Roger Haines is working
> with Eco-Mandate and a local entrepreneur to offer Haines-Copenhagen solar
> cookers for sale in Kakuma for a sustainable price of around $25.  Your
> tax-deductible contributions
