Simple Solar Solution Saving Lives on Chad

This simple application of solar heating principles not only make cooking a much simpler proposition for these refugees in Chad, but saves the women from having to leave the safety of the refugee camp to gather firewood, where they are at seroius risk of murder and rape. Beyond that, widespread application of this simple technology in poor areas of the world could have many other benefits. See the article “The Simple Tool That Saves Women’s Lives”.
