Solar Cooker Training Workshops scheduled in two locations

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

DPDO Solar Cooker Program Coordinator, Ali Eisa, has scheduled August Training Workshops in two locations: Kassab camp at DPDO’s Women’s Center and in Abuja camp near El Fasher. He expects a total of 45 participants to attend the trainings.

Solar cooking is a simple alternative to wood-fueled cooking in Darfur. A solar cooker allows women to prepare meals without having to make risky trips outside their camps to search for firewood.

The total cost for solar cooker materials and training is approximately $30 per household. Over 320 Darfuris have graduated from DPDO’s Solar Cooker Training Workshops since the start of the program in 2006. The program’s continued operation depends on donor support.
