The Solar Cooker Project not only serves to protect women, but
also provides them with income opportunities through manufacturing
solar cookers, training others to use the cookers, and making carrying
bags to increase the cookers life span. It gives the women a sense
of pride to be able to contribute to their household. This project is active in the e Iridimi, Touloum and Oure Cassoni refugee camps in Chad. Jewish World Watch plans to
initiate this project in other refugee camps with the goal of reducing the
number of crimes committed against refugee women.
