Mali faces a growing energy crisis as deforestation accelerates due to high reliance on biomass for cooking, particularly in rural areas. Women, who are primarily responsible for cooking, must travel increasingly longer distances to collect firewood, exposing them to dangers in areas with growing insecurity. The urban population also depends on wood and charcoal, placing an economic burden on households. This project introduces locally manufactured solar cooking technologies as a sustainable, cost-effective solution to this growing problem.
