TERMICAL RETETION STOVES
Elaboration of
systems that can be
used by the heat
retentions. This stove
have a 50 liters
capacity, and
finishing the thermic
cook, thanks to this
system, 125 persons
eat.

The water boil thanks to the solar stove and the

food finish cooking, thanks to the thermical
retention stove
PARABOLIC SOLAR STOVES
This
sophisticated
system has 84
reflectors,
generating the
vapor possibility,
with 30,000 daily
rations in the
Abdul Mount
Radajastan India

This system is saving more than 40 liters of diesel per

day

Until this moment

this solar stoves
had been used
generally in shelter
fields in Africa.
There are the most
economic and easy
to create compared
of the other solar
stoves

to cover whit a

separates the bag
form the pot, so it
doesn't burn.

been used seems

The participants
never believe at
the first time,
then the realize

Alternative ways to cook
This simple stove,
home made, shows to
the users how they can
made heat retention
stoves whit their own
hands and whit
materials that they
usually have in their
homes
Alternative ways to cook
In the capacitation's we
cook the food whit the
participants and then we
let them doing on their
own, to find out if they
understand the benefits
that they can get a soon as
they adapted to this way
of cook
Heat retention
one reason
why we
propose to
use this box
cooker is
the dual
purpose

Wood stove
“Aprovecho”, it’s a device that
generates an efficient
combustion and a really
efficient heat transfer to the pot.
It use wood, carbon, branches,
manure and includes a method
to make bread. Aprovecho
stoves are recognized as thrifty
of a 70% of wood used in a
traditional cooker

With this device,
the saying “Where
there’s smoke,
there’s fire”, is not
a reality any more

small beneficiary of the solar cookers
telling me how happy she was that now she
could eat well, had time to do homework,
clean her house and even had time to
play ...

I live to show people the difference .....
