About this project

Since 2003, the war in Darfur has led to the influx of over 230,000 refugees into eastern Chad. These refugees are divided across 12 camps in the Wadi Fira region that borders Sudan. Chad is highly dependent on biomass as an energy source. Natural resources such as water and firewood are increasingly rare, causing tension between host communities and refugees. As a result, refugees must travel increasingly large distances to collect firewood. This is a high-risk activity, as many women are subject to sexual and gender-based violence. The project aims to address this issue and meet basic domestic energy needs through the distribution of solar cookers in the refugee camps to reduce dependency on biomass for cooking. The project also aims to build local capacity for manufacturing and repairing solar cookers, raise awareness, hold cooking demonstrations, and provide training on proper use and maintenance to beneficiaries.
