Our Vision
Sun Fire Cooking envisions everyone in Somalia working to protect and reclaim the land for future generations. We see a future when environmentally friendly solar energy replaces charcoal for cooking.

Our Mission
To help reduce the devastating cutting of trees for fuel, Sun Fire Cooking mobilizes people in Somalia and east Africa to switch from charcoal to solar for cooking.

We will revolutionize the culture of cooking in east Africa by promoting solar cooking.
