Recent News and Developments

  • July 2007: Solar Health and Education Project (SHEP) reports holding workshops in both Zambia and Kenya for newly trained teachers preparing to go to remote villages on assignment. The workshops were five days long. The first day was used for basic education about solar cooking and solar water pasteurization, while the other four days were used to practice and implement solar cooking skills. The 70 participants all built their own solar cookers. Based on the success of these workshops two more have already been scheduled. SHEP has developed a relationship with Tetra Pak International — manufacturer of aseptic drink containers — whereby SHEP uses Tetra Pak’s excess foil-lined paper for solar cooker construction. (The foil-lined paper is printed in wide rolls, sometimes resulting in excess material begin generated.) According to SHEP, Tetra Pak is willing to accept proposals from other nongovernmental organizations that may want to use the reflective material as long as the material will be used for workshop participants to construct solar cookers.

The History of Solar Cooking in Zambia

A small solar cooking project has been started in Zambia with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Lusaka Central and the Girl Guide Association of Zambia. At the time of reporting, December 1999, 50 people had been trained to use the solar cookers. Rotarian Nic Money is carrying on the work, which was started by American Rotarian, Wilfred Pimentel, and Girl Scout trainer, Barby Pulliam, also an American.

Climate, Culture, and Special Considerations

Solar Cookers International has rated Zambia as the #25 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 Zambia living in sunny areas but suffering from fuel scarcity in 2020 is 1,100,000.
