Update: SHE and Tostan Begin Solar Cooking Partnership In Senegal

Solar Household Energy and Tostan had a very successful training session for the Senegal Solar Cooking Initiative, a project we are implementing in partnership with 21 Community Management Committees in villages in the Thiès region. Over the last week, I joined Dame Guèye, Tostan Community Management Committee Coordinator, and Kiné Seck, SHE Program Trainer, as they conducted four demonstrations for representatives of five to six villages. Each village sent three women to the demonstration who, among themselves, chose one woman who was going to be the point person for each village. This point person will conduct daily demonstrations until the HotPots are distributed in the villages at which point they will support the program participants with solar cooking tips, advice and short training sessions.
