Income from our own land
Crops and honey from the farm are meant to build an income that funds the solar project over time.
Farming and solar cooking, built in Malawi.
GIGTU 47 AFRICA runs two projects that depend on each other: a 257-acre farm and a simple solar electric cooker. The farm is there to earn the income that pays for the cooker’s development.
The farm
Sweet potatoes, soya beans, maize and a honey bee farm of about 50 hives.

The solar cooker

Explore solar cookingWhat we are working towards.
Many families in Malawi cook with charcoal and firewood. We want to offer a practical alternative that uses the sunshine the country already has, and to pay for that work with food grown on our own land.
Cleaner cooking
Cooking with solar electricity means burning less charcoal and firewood, which helps protect trees and cuts smoke and emissions.
Designed to be used and repaired locally
The cooker should be easy for anyone to operate, built from durable materials, and simple enough for local technicians to maintain.
