SOLAR COOKING and WATER PASTEURIZATION
Cook Food, Make Water Safe To Drink, and Sterilize Instruments among other uses.
Using the sun for cooking and water pasteurization has come of age. With
new designs, experience, the ability to make your own, lower prices for
manufactured units, the need to reduce the carbon footprint, save the
forests, cooking where fuel not readily available, reduce electric and fuel costs, it is being increasing used worldwide.
Advantages: It is something you can easily make which really works - saves fuel, doesn't burn your food, even makes your food taste better, no stirring, lots of great recipes, and depending on type of cooker and time of day
as fast as any stove (microwave? Well, that's another story).

Where to donate funds to help distribute where most needed
Rotarians
Village Oven Project "The Temple Solar Project finances,
purchases, delivers and sets in operation large baking and cooking sun
ovens in world-wide locations where natural fuels are depleted and
populations are undernourished. The large Villager Sun Ovens are the
basis for self-supporting community bakeries to replace outdated and
environmentally harmful methods of cooking and to provide new, healthy
means for feeding the citizens in deprived areas of underdeveloped
nations."
Solar
Cookers International SCI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization with headquarters in Sacramento, California, USA and an
office in Nairobi, Kenya. "SCI has enabled 30,000 families in Africa to
cook with the sun's energy, freeing women and children from the burdens
of gathering firewood and carrying it for miles. Tens of thousands of
individuals and organizations from all over the world have
learned about solar cooking through excellent publications and
education resources, and have benefited from information
exchange networks, research, technical support, and the SCI-sponsored,
internationally recognized Internet resource for solar cooking
information: the Solar Cooking Archive."

Winter production is about 1/2 that amount. The still has no moving
parts, uses only solar energy to operate, and is self cleaning."

"SODIS is recommended by WHO (World Health Organisation) as water disinfection method at household level and is part of WHO’s international network to promote household water treatment and safe storage." "SODIS, Solar Water Disinfection, improves the microbiological quality of drinking water, using solar UV-A radiation and temperature to inactivate pathogens causing diarrhoea." "SODIS is ideal to treat small quantities of water. Contaminated water is filled into transparent plastic bottles and exposed to full sunlight for six hours."
