Stephen Pearson, founder of SUN-LIFE,
. . . has been helping residents of Ghana for many years save on cooking fuel expense,
. . . by learning to use the CooKit solar cooker.
Now he brings them a MiniSun12H lamp,
. . . that has an integrated photovoltaic panel,
. . . to recharge the lamp during the day,
. . . giving 4 hours of bright light and 8 hours of night light.
He saw Families spend $5 USD a week,
. . . for kerosene to fill a smoky lamp.
If a family can save on cooking fuel using the CooKit,
. . . then they will have enough money to be able to buy the new lamp, and
. . . further reduce their kerosene usage.
Money is saved, and indoor air pollution is reduced.

You can help him with this project by supporting his efforts at Indiegogo fund raising.
