  • April 2007: Maria dos Anjos Rosario taught a solar cooking class to 11th and 12th grade students at the Secondary School of the Superior Institute of Science and Technology. The class included discussion of how solar cookers work, construction of several models of solar cookers, solar cooking practice, analysis of the activities, and discussion of how to spread solar cooking. Rosario is president of the Mozambique Association for Urban Development, which promotes solar cookers, heat-retention cookers, and paper briquettes - a firewood and charcoal substitute.

The History of Solar Cooking in Mozambique

Little is known of solar cooking activities in Mozambique, other than the efforts of a faculty member at Eduardo Mondlane University, who had taught an American volunteer about the technology. The volunteer, Miho Kobashi then spent six months in a remote village, working as a teacher, and while there taught a number of villagers to make and use solar cookers. This small experiment used the CooKit that people made for themselves. As is usual, villagers were unwilling to believe that food could be cooked with a piece of cardboard, and were amazed to see the results of their experiment. (Solar Cooker Review, July 2003)

[Information for this section was taken originally from State of the Art of Solar Cooking by Dr. Barbara Knudson]

Climate, Culture, and Special Considerations

Solar Cookers International has rated Mozambique as the #16 country in the world in terms of solar cooking potential (See: The 25 countries with the most solar cooking potential). The estimated number of people in Mozambique with fuel scarcity but ample sun in 2020 is 3,800,000.
