Solar Cookers International’s Sunny Solutions project began in the northern region of Nyakach, Kenya in 2003 and expanded in 2005 to Kadibo, near Lake Victoria and just south of Nairobi in Kajiado. The project was initiated to introduce and market affordable solar cookers to people in rural areas. Each of these communities benefit from abundant sunshine, but what little vegetation that is available is quickly taken and used for fuel, and — as in many areas of Africa — firewood collection is laborious, often requiring women and girls to walk several kilometers per day. Almost every part of Kenya could benefit from solar cooking and water pasteurization.
