Another main acitvity of Eco Center ICNEER is the promotion of Solar Cookers, enabling the rural population to cook without having to search for fuelwood, which is a time consuming work. Even worse is the impact on health and environment caused by burning fuelwood, such as lung diseases and eye problems, pollution and climate change. Moreover, Solar Cookers can be used for income generation, enabling women to earn money for their family and rising independency regarding their husbands. The Seifert SK-10 and SK-14 Cookers are relatively cheap to buy and can be used to cook for the family, as well as baking bread, cakes, making sweets, tea and so on for selling. Eco Center ICNEER is working on providing microfinancing schemes to enable a clean development in rural areas.
