*February 2025: Haines Solar Cookers LLC Selected to Provide 6,000 Solar Cookers to Darfur Refugees - The new Haines Pop Open Solar Cookers, which harness concentrated sunlight to cook food, will be distributed in Touloum Refugee Camp in Eastern Chad. Conditions there are harsh, and resources are scarce. The project is managed by FairClimateFund, a Netherlands-based social enterprise with extensive experience in implementing clean cooking programs that generate carbon credits. “We are proud to be part of this important initiative that not only provides refugees with a cleaner, healthier way to cook but also supports broader climate goals,” said Roger Haines, President and Founder of Haines Solar Cookers. “We hope to expand this project to other camps in Chad with FairClimateFund. The project will make a tangible impact in the lives of refugees while also contributing to climate mitigation through the generation of carbon credits.”
