My Nonprofit Reviews

PPAF has continued to work with excellent Haitian partners and the program for solar cooking has progressed despite local political and economic problems. Progress is underway for a solar cooking cookbook, created and tested by Haitian volunteers and edited by U.S.volunteers. Importofnew stoves is difficult, so emphasis is being made on local manufacture with locally available materials.

PPAF is doing excellent work in Haiti, working with a university, an after-school program and a community center. The focus is on solar cooking and use of biogas/biodigesters to provide renewable energy. PPAF works with local and U.S. partners to develop curricula and teaching materials and has provided hundreds of solar cookers. The dedicated board and senior volunteers provide technical and management experience, All in all, a great nonprofit to support

I am excited that PPAF has expanded to working with new collaborators in Haiti and the U.S. and to promoting use of solar cookstoves and building biodigesters for biogas cooking. In Haiti these include the Haiti Adolexcent Girls Network, the Universite Notre Dame d'Haiti - Hinche, an elementary school, KDCK (working with a community in southern Haiti) and others. PPAF has produced a technical assistance guide on distilleries and videos on training people to build biodigesters. Work is progressing well and the organization is on solid footing. Above is an interview with a woman who uses solar cookstoves and teaches others about them.
