Step

Build and use Solar Ovens made from cardboard panels covered in aluminium foil for most cooking (except roasting) and also for water  pasteurisation.               

At SunLife we strongly believe that free, safe, reliable and efficient non-fossil fuel based energy can greatly reduce the household expenditure of the rural poor, who spend much of their hard earned income on two basic necessities of daily living – Lighting and Cooking.

Our purpose, therefore is to teach the use of FREE and readily available  other sources of energy, for cooking, lighting and battery charging without bringing any additional money from their pockets. We seek to encourage green  living and help combat global warming. To achieve this we have developed the Sun Life System.
