Solar Clutch
From Solar Cooking
Over 2 million people are displaced and living in displacement/refugee camps. The ongoing conflict has brought close to 400,000 deaths in the past 4 years. Dispite UN intervention and humanitarian relief efforts the situation has gone from bad to worse. Solar Clutch has been working with local agencies on the ground to promote solar cooking in the regions where trees are scarce. The risk of rape and death face the women and children searching the remote country side for firewood. Agencies like Darfur Peace and Development Organization, Samartian's Purse, World Vision, World Relief, Action Contra Faim, World Food Program, and the International Red Cross are all working to bring relief to this region of the world.
[edit] News and recent developments
- January 2009: In Ethiopia Steve Harrigan made solar cookers with the Ethiopian and Somali people at the Agape Reading Center. The Somali people are already refugees in Ethiopia and in great financial need. Solar cooking is a free source of energy to that allows them to cook without having to use firewood. An Ethiopian couple also was excited to learn how to make solar cookers because they run an orphanage near the Somali boarder and have 30 little mouths to feed 3 times a day! We made cookers from the wheel chair boxes that had been donated to the handicap people of Ethiopia. A double use of the resources God has put at our disposal. If you would like to help provide solar cookers for this orphanage please contact us.
