The purpose of the project is to spread the use of appropriate technology and to develop an awareness of its advantages. Income-generating activities are to improve the financial situation of the group members and to serve the welfare of their families, their community and their country. * The use of solar cookers, heat-retention cookers (basket cookers) and energy-efficient stoves saves time (collection of firewood), which can be used for other activities * The health of women is improved when they can work in smoke-free kitchens. * The group members promote protection of the environment. The new way of cooking saves firewood (also time and money). Fewer trees have to be cut down while new trees are being planted (in tree nurseries). * The group contributes to further education of the community and to the development of a general environmental awareness. * The women initiate income-generating projects and thus contribute to an improved standard of living in their families and their community.
