Cooking in Tanzania
By: Ben, Noel, Sara, Lindsey
Traditional Ways of Cooking
❖ Outside over an open fire.❖ Fire inside of huts, usually
with poor ventilation.
❖ Roll the chapati dough and then flatten it out. Cook over open fire until done.
Existing Problems Potential health risks
Indoor smoke inhalation❖* Responsible for 1.5 million deaths per year globally, among women and small young children.
❖Deforestation ❖* Up to 500,000 acres are deforested in Tanzania
each year.❖Consumption of wood for fuel may
contribute.❖Waste of time
❖Much time is wasted traveling to collect the wood.
❖Waiting for wood to dry so it can be used in everyday cooking.
Recent Developments❖ Solar Cooker -The Global Resource
Alliance has offered solar cooking workshops and over 1000 subsidized solar Cookits this past January
❖ Landscape -WeForest is helping to restore the deforested area over the next 2 years by planting 130,000 trees
❖ A study was done that found solar cooking viable for the needs of a rural family even during the lowest average solar radiation levels.
Questions to Consider❖ Can we build it cheap and fast?❖ Can we store heat from it?❖ Things to consider:
❖ Complexity of construction, sun inclination, and longevity
❖ Limited availability of funds or materials for construction, durability, ease of use
❖ Viable daylight hours❖ Reproducibility of the project
