2002: Solar Cookers International expands its solar cooking program at Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya. The program provides refugees with portable, lightweight solar cookers called ‘CooKits’. Cookits save both money and wood. The program was begun in 1995 by a US based group. The program won a 2002 Ashden Award. The Ashden Awards promote local sustainable energy solutions in the UK and the developing world (Ashden Awards, 2002).
