Rotary International and Feed My Starving Children teamed up with a distribution of solar ovens with a pallet of food. We were privileged to be a part of that program and made the distribution of solar ovens in Haiti. They cooked very fast compared to previous ovens and were a tremendous success... while people were watching. However, as soon as no one was looking, they were put away and the folks went back to charcoal. Apparently they work well in the flatlands, but in the mountains it takes too much time moving them around to keep them in the sun... people are off trying to find food and a living, they won't take the time to move solar ovens to keep them in the sun. Good idea that didn't work in the mountains.
