From problem to solution

• Problem
• 3 billion people
• over-exploitation of woody vegetation
• shortage of firewood
• firewood price

• Other impacts of firewood use
• deforestation, desertification
• air pollution (cities)?
• health problems (women with lung problems)?
• burns (small children)?

Solution - integrated solar cooking including
- maximum use of solar energy at the
lowest possible cost
7
Integrated solar cooking
1. improved wood stoves
2. a solar cooker
3. heat retention
8
Maximum use of solar energy at the lowest
possible price
Panel cooker (CooKit) 10
Box cooker 100
Parabolic cooker 300

KoZon promotes the CooKit

• CooKit selling points
• cheap
• efficient
• local production

• Requisites for solar cooking
• CooKit
• black pot, 4 to 5 liter
• heat resistant plastic bag

10
Local production of CooKits

• Construction materials
• corrugated cardboard
• aluminium foil
• glue
• hand tools

CooKit it cooks, bakes and pasteurizes

• slow cooking (simmer)?
• meat, fish, vegetables, sauces
• pastas, rice
• bread, cake
• baby meals
• pasteurization of water and milk

12
Project countries
Burkina Faso 274.200 km² 14 miljoen
inh. Mali 1.240.000 km² 12 million
inh. Niger Tchad
13
Projects cooperation with local organisations

• Mali AFIMA (Association des Femmes Ingénieurs du
  Mali)?
• Mali AMAFH (AssociationMalienne des Femmes
• Handicapées)?
• Tchad TchadSolaire

14
Project with AMAFH, Bamako, Mali
2005 training of 3 groups of 40 handicapped
women

• Training - 2 days - participants
  contribute - 2 CooKit sets

• Cost
• - total cost 6.000
• - one group of 40 women 2.000

15
Extra advantages of the CooKit for handicapped
women a) lack of mobility no problemb) less
risk of burns c) strong positive psychological
impact
16
Evaluation

• Factors for acceptation and adoption
• perception
• social factors
• technical factors

17
Technical evaluation

• Advantages
• simple and cheap
• functional (many dishes)
• saves firewood
• protects nature and environment
• healthy
• local production

• Desadvantages
• 2-4 hours sunshine
• woodfire as permanent back-up
• limited quantity (4 to 5 l)?
• frying/roasting not possible
• not all materials locally available
• limited lifespan

Social evaluation (Gorom-Gorom, Burkina Faso,
2003)?

• young tailor, bachelor
• . We men have a large problem with cooking in
  this province. Even if you are hungry, you can
  not go to the kitchen to make food yourself. We
  young men have to wait for women and be patient
  when the food is taking time to be cooked by
  women or girls. To be honest with you, the
  tradition doesnt refuse men to cook. We wait for
  women because its difficult for us to cook with
  firewood. Its why the solar material you bring
  could help us not to depend anymore on women for
  cooking."

27
Social evaluation (Gorom-Gorom, Burkina Faso,
2003)?

• Married woman from a large family about the size
  of the Cookit
• I bought the CooKit. I used it only once
  just to test. Its not possible for me to cook
  food with it for all people of my compound. I
  decided to give it to my brother who is a
  bachelor and living in the north of this village.
  I feel sad because I bought it but couldnt use
  it."

28
Social evaluation (Gorom-Gorom, Burkina Faso,
2003)?

• Married woman from a small family about family
  planning
• . You know, I have two babies in two years. In
  this province, we dont care about the number of
  children we have. Its God who gives children and
  takes care of them. I understand later that we
  women struggle too much and suffer to give food
  to all the children we have. I welcomed all the
  organisations that are helping women of this
  village to plan the births of kids, but me I
  dont like to take that pill. If we can integrate
  the CooKit in our life style, it means we are
  aware that its only useful for small families.
  Before we do anything, my husband and I need to
  remember that our CooKit could be used for a
  certain number of people. Its another way of
  planning children.
