Our May 2024 mission is Solar Oven Partners. Their goal is to impower people to use solar energy to meet their cooking needs. In the Dominican Republic a solar oven can be a life saver. Most people live in poverty and can’t afford gas to cook. Even if they can find wood, it’s expensive and not good for the environment.

The primary and long-term impact are essentially the same, but multiplied. Cost savings on fuel to cook daily meals, pasteurizing drinking water, and avoiding smoke inhalation from cooking with fire, plus conservation to stem the tide of deforestation.
