Cooking Methods

Almost all cooking in Fondwa is done on wood or charcoal.

Clean Energy for Twoukoffee, a Commercial Hub

The corner store, which was across from our guesthouse, is typical of many homes and small shops.   Cooking is done under a shelter.  The setup is simple - 2-3 cooking pots, a few other utensils, and firewood or charcoal for fuel.

Mme. Antoine would like to see clean energy come to Twoukoffe, the small commercial center shown below.  She would like to have electricity for refrigeration, street lights, lighting for her home and shop.  Efficient energy for cooking, such as a clean cook stove, interests  her as well.  Many in the area have computers, cell phones, and radios, yet other uses for electricity.

 The APF guest house has two solar panels on the roof.   Other APF buildings are planned for this area, including the women food processing business, and community center, which would benefit from clean energy for cooking, refrigeration, electrification, and lighting.

APF would like to see many small decentralized energy-efficient commercial / educational hubs, such as Twoukoffe, developed throughout Fondwa.
