Solar Kitchen

Cooking with the Right Energy

Donate!

The women of Cacula, in Huíla Province, are the pillars of their communities.

They dedicate their lives to agriculture and the livelihood of their families, but face enormous challenges without access to electricity for efficient crop production and conservation.

The ‘Solar Kitchen: Cooking with the Right Energy’ campaign is determined to transform this reality. UNDP Angola wants to continue supporting communities by providing the right energy so that they can thrive.

With your support, we can install solar-powered kitchens that will enable these women to expand production, improve food security and generate sustainable incomes.

This UNDP initiative, in partnership with other African countries, is part of the ‘Nature, Climate and Energy’ campaign. Find out more!

Joaquina Bembi, Bridging Distances for Water

Joaquina, a mother of six, travels long distances to fetch water, which makes production in the processing kitchen a challenge.

Despite the challenges, she manages to produce juices, pulps and between three and four cakes a day with the other members of the co-operative.

With more resources, Joaquina and the other women could increase production, improve her family's living conditions and strengthen the local economy.
