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.
