My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for Public-Private Alliance Foundation, Hastings on Hudson, NY, USA
I have a company Solar Oven Reflectors. Since the Pandemic I have been making solar ovens to donate overseas. I recently targeted orphanages in Hinche Haiti where I have traveled to a dental clinic. PPAF has supported Elie Joseph teaching of solar cooking to schools. I contacted Elie and offered to donate cookers to orphanages that were having trouble buying charcoal and firewood. Elie agreed to start a solar cookers program for orphanages. I made and sent 130 cookers to Elie where he distributed them to 6 orphanages and taught the cooks how to use the cookers. PPAF has been paying for food for cooker demonstrations. One demonstration involved cooking 26 pots of food where 80 participants were expected. 126 came. Elie Joseph worked as an interpreter for PPAF PPAF sent him his first cookers. When we posted about this project PPAF arranged to have Roger Haines send 30 of his cookers, and Scott Rundle sent 50 small cookers that use laminated reflective materials on plastic. Haiti has become less safe to travel to. Our Hinche Haiti Dental Outreach nonprofit has transitioned to supporting dentists in Hinche with supplies and orphanages with solar cookers as we no longer want to risk sending staff to Hinche. PPAF has provided funding for items that I cannot fund related to solar cooking. Here is a Facebook link to Elie Joseph's post on the Solar Cookers World Network. https://www.facebook.com/groups/16213904406/user/100089157145029/
