SOLAR COOKERS INTERNATIONAL

Solar Cookers International (SCI) was founded in 1987 by a unique group of people in the sunny Central Valley of California. To this group of 17 solar cooks, the global need for solar cooking was apparent. They pooled their knowledge to produce manuals enabling others to build and use simple solar cookers. SCI spearheaded advocacy efforts to bring solar cooking to the attention of development and relief agencies. SCI''s unique roles in the early 1990s were in networking with its handful of peers and encouraging local promotion efforts. In 1995 SCI began administering a series of field projects -- mostly in refugee camps -- that ultimately benefited over 30,000 families. SCI''s latest project aims to bring solar cooking skills and supplies to 6,000 residents of Nyakach, Kenya, through local micro-enterprise ventures.
