Fight poverty through the promotion of solar cooking / Bolivia Inti
Bolivia Inti intends to produce 1,000 solar cookers over a period of three years, and begin the process of rendering the teams autonomous through diagnostics, training and diversification of activities. The project aims to create a real local dynamic to effectively and sustainably combat the effects of deforestation and reduce the cost of energy in the budget of the households targeted by the project.
To understand how the solar cookers work, do not hesitate to consult the specification sheet .
