Working with community-based project partners in East Africa (Kenya) and Asia (Nepal), people living in areas of great poverty and fuel scarcity are learning to solar cook and being provided with solar cooking and water pasteurization devices that can reduce the burden of human diseases caused by thick cooking smoke and contaminated drinking water. In this fiscal year, 945 households in Kisumu, Kenya, a region of extreme poverty, received Safe Water Packages with SCIs support (a CooKit solar cooker, which can save up to 19 kg (41 lbs) of fire wood per week of use; a cooking pot with lid; an upesi jiko improved combustion stove which can reduce fire wood use by up to 40%; a water pasteurization indicator; a specially-designed jar to hold pasteurized water; and a retained-heat cooker, which insulates a cooking pot to continue the cooking process for 4 6 hours with no added fuel.) SCI organizes and leads the Solar Cookers International Network, which includes 500+ member organizations worldwide working on solar cooker projects, designs, research, advocacy, and education. SCI supports the worlds largest and most comprehensive solar cooking resource, www.solarcooking.org, which receives a quarter million page visits per month. Through its ECOSOC special consultative status at the United Nations, where solar cooking is a quick fix for the Millennium Development Goals, SCI contributes to the Post-2015 development agenda. SCI continues to provide leadership and resources for 500+ solar cooking organizations worldwide in the fields of solar cooking research, designs, standards, evaluation, advocacy, and project implementation. 265510 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X X X BOOKKEEPER 9164554499 1919 21ST STREET 203 SACRAMENTO CA 95811 X HONEY WALTERS President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AJ LEDERMAN Vice President 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BILL HUDSON Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PATRICIA ROBERTS Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES MOOSE AT-LARGE 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MONICA WOODS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN SAFFOLD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF DORSO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC HAFTER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JASON GRAY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RAJINDER SAHOTA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE GREENE Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 7520 447824 455344 COOKIT SALES 900099 31334 31334 31334 220 220 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 486898 31334 220 0 0 89161 89161 0 85406 59784 17081 8541 0 65603 28504 8864 28235 0 950 413 128 409 12177 7108 2089 2980 0 0 17539 17539 0 0 0 17168 5198 4059 7911 370 289 54 27 1008 1008 0 0 13140 9198 2628 1314 9204 6130 90 2984 0 0 0 0 614 614 2212 1634 467 111 COOKITS AND OTHER MATERIALS 23079 23079 Printing and Publications 20172 5316 316 14540 OUTREACH 12478 11990 244 244 Postage and Shipping 8789 4933 690 3166 25731 12159 9418 4154 404801 265510 64675 74616 159379 242376 25050 25100 25000 500 491 0 0 0 10208 5610 2142 35454 14592 12800 2406 1792 0 0 0 0 0 224185 311323 16953 21994 16953 21994 X 149388 255452 32844 8877 25000 25000 207232 289329 224185 311323 82097 X true X false true false X 683918 602625 484406 356515 455344 2582808 0 0 683918 602625 484406 356515 455344 2582808 12530 2570278 2022 1412 1355 170 220 5179 0 0 2587987 395651 0.99320 0.99770 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 10000 10000 1.00000 true false false 14592 12800 1792 1792 X Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
