Solar Cooker in Pakistan

 Solar Cooker in Pakistan

We are seeking sponsors to undertake sponsoring of solar cookers for a pilot project consisting of 25 solar cookers to be setup in hub area where we are already operating.
Benefits of Solar Cookers
In terms of water, sanitation and ecological costs:

• It boils 4 kilograms of water within 20 minutes, killing germs and bacteria which cause diseases like Diarrhoea and Kidney related problems.
• There are zero carbon emissions as there is no burning of fossil fuels or any other substances e.g. wood and LPG.
• The solar cooker will allow the conservation of forests that are vital to the eco-system, especially endangered Mangrove Forests.

In terms of economical benefits:

• The solar cooker saves a significant amount of money for poor households as they will not need any sort of firewood or fossil fuels, especially with the rising fuel prices and inflation.
• There is no monetary maintenance of the cookers – only general cleaning is required to ensure maximum efficiency.
• Due to the boiling of water, there will be far less contaminants in the water and that will reduce the healthcare bill for the families.
• Lastly, this will economically benefit the government as well, since lesser people will be a burden on the public healthcare system.

Formal specifications are as follows:

• Reflector Material: 0.6MM carbon steel covered Vacuum Aluminium Film
• Reflector Diameter: 1.5M
• Focus: 700MM
• The Height of Pot Stand: 110CM
• Bear-Loading: 25KG
• Power: 1000W

Cost per unit will be US $ 100 which includes all transportation and administrative costs associated with this pilot project.
