executive director's message
congratulations to sci!
january 2008 marked the 20th anniversary of the
incorporation of solar cookers international (sci). this organization has
evolved from promoting solar box cookers to advocating an effective integrated
approach to cooking through use of the solar cooker, the fuel efficient stove
and the hay basket or heat retention device. sci kenya offices now have all
these items on display, along with a simple solar light that can be charged
during the day and used after the sun goes down.
prior to the anniversary date, sci and jewish world watch
took part in an evaluation of the solar cooker project, which we
supported, in refugee camps in chad; the project was developed by kozon, a
netherlands based ngo. it is gratifying to know that women are able to reduce
dangerous forays for fuel outside of the camps because of the introduction of
the solar cooker.
the first sci safe water project was also
implemented in this anniversary year through the generosity of the goldman fund.
this project incorporates the use of water testing for e. coli, the solar
cooker for cooking and water pasteurization along with safe water storage. it is
a pleasure to see that children under five can operate the valve on the clay
storage container to get a cool and safe glass of water.
the expanded efforts of sci are also evident in the two web
sites, solarcookers.org and solarcooking.org, as well as in the work of our
advocates promoting closer collaboration with un agencies such as who and un
habitat. thank you to all of the generous supporters of sci worldwide and we
look forward to the next twenty years of this vital organization working to help
make lives better!
