Hello all, as of writing this, I sit in the garage office and gaze upon the forested hills of Fort Portal, Uganda, watching locals tend to their banana farms. The Rwenzori mountains stand watch over us, separating the Tooro Kingdom of Uganda from the DRC. For the month of April, I will work alongside the staff here at the African STEM Education Initiative (ASEI: https://aseiug.org/) to advance their educational goals and improve and promote the adoption of their clean energy technology. While I am here, I am looking for your support back home to help Kyebambe Girls Secondary School fund a solar-powered electric cook stove to replace their current wood-fired stoves. The replacement will help the school save $2000-$6500 (annual range of firewood costs) of firewood costs, which can now fund educational goals (considering public schools can receive as little as $1500 for 500 students over a 3 month term this added funding will make a massive impact). The current woodfire stoves lead to unnecessary smoke inhalation by school staff and releases 250-300 metric tons of CO2 per year. The total cost of the project stands at $10,000, which will enable the purchase of the components, their installation, and their maintenance by the staff here at ASEI. The project is a pilot to promote solar cooking technology in schools and attract players like the Ugandan Ministry of Education, the climate finance unit of the Ministry of Finance, local banks, and other NGOs to expand solar cooking across Uganda. The solar cookers will create access to the carbon credit industry, leveraging this growing market to finance operation and expansion. With the support of these larger players, solar cooking can grow across the region developing local economy, reducing deforestation, and improving education. With your help, we can enable African technology development, grow local economy, create a healthier environment, and improve the education of the Kyebambe Girls Secondary School.
