Sustainable cooking helping Haitian Relief
February 1, 2010In these crucial weeks after the devastating earthquake that rocked Haiti to its core, providing food to the survivors is one of the most important aspects to recovery. And, thanks to companies like Solar Cookers International (SCI), Haitians are getting some immediate relief. SCI is now working with Sun Ovens International, Friends of Haiti Organization, and local NGO partners to bring much-needed solar cookers and water pasteurization indicators (WAPI) to the people of Haiti.
These ovens harness solar energy and convert it into fuel to conveniently and easily cook food. With so much of the infrastructure of Haiti compromised, these sustainable ways of harnessing the earth’s power may play a big part in stabilizing this hard hit country.
A $40 gift pays for a solar cooker, cooking pot, and WAPI for a Haitian family.
We would like Project 7 to be part of “Rock the Green Revolution”, an eco-friendly, minimal carbon footprint exhibit created by the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and distributed by SITES.
