As with the Millennium Development Goals, solar cooking can play a vital role in achieving each of the 17 SDGs by: * Reducing the need to gather fuel, saving families time which presents individuals, primarily women, with the opportunity to focus on education and income generation activities to provide a better life for themselves, their families, and their community. * Allowing families to spend money, which would otherwise be needed to purchase fuel, on food and other essentials. * Only requiring clean and renewable energy from the sun to cook a meal. Solar cooking emits zero harmful toxins which keeps household air clean, preventing health issues related to smoke exposure, and does not contribute to climate change.
