Solar Cooker Project
for Shem Women's Group in Tibet
Based upon the continuing generosity of our contribution team, we were able to assist the Shem Women's Group by funding their Solar Cooker Project for the Tibetan villages of Ragongma and Dzelungtang in China.
Women and children spend many hours of the day attempting to gather wood or yak dung to use for cooking. They need to travel great distances simply to find enough fuel for their cooking needs, and this also causes damage to the local forests.
Through this project, 42 solar cookers were provided for households in Ragongma and Dzelangtang Villages. The goal of this project was to greatly reduce women's labor as well as that of school-aged children, to protect the forests, and prevent further environmental degradation.You may click on the link below to read the report sent to us by the Shem Women's Group with the details of this Solar Cooker Project.
