Most Haitian families depend on charcoal for cooking –

with ruinous consequences.

PPAF and colleagues aim to improve lives, health and the environment with clean cookstoves.

Solar ovens are one option – free fuel from the sun.

Demonstration and training are essential.

Biogas digesters, using free fuel from garbage,

produce methane for cooking.

A biogas flame burns bright and hot.

Effluent from digesters helps make gardens grow.

Students at Université Notre Dame d’Haiti-Hinche learned to cook with biogas and solar ovens.

The University Vice-Rector and students organized “Science Day.”

Our team sent speakers and support.

About 400 students and political & religious personalities participated,

for an event on solar and biogas cooking.

Representatives from a project on parabolic solar cookers

joined the event.

Now the student coordinating committee is gearing up

to create a business.
