About this project

Afstor Ltd, in Partnership with the Green Living Movement (GLM) Zambia is has been implementing the solar cooker project, in Chiyumu and Chisuwo in Monze district, Southern province of Zambia. The solar cooker project is aimed at reducing the energy burden on the rural woman, girl child and Child-headed household. ThHe use of the solar cooker will translate to more time available for women to attend to household chores and personal needs. Additionally, this will also led to an increase in household income levels especially for female headed households and a significant reduction in health related disease affecting women. Women and the girl-child in rural communities are subjected to long hours in the bush fetching firewood for cooking and heating and in most cases, they have to walk long distances. The solar cooker project will help reduce indiscriminate cutting of trees for fuel wood for cooking and heating. The project has taken an integrated approach encompassing components such as reforestation. The integration model will help communities in the project area to have access to clean energy, promote sustainable forestry management, food security and climate resilient communities. This model will help promote access to renewable energy technologies as enshrined in the National Policy on Climate Change (2016). The project beneficiaries are encouraged to participate in tree planting activities, practicing sustainable farming methods and forest resources management. The solar cooker project will supplement government’s efforts to counter the adverse impacts of climate change and contribute to building climate resilience in vulnerable communities by providing access to renewable sources of energy.
