Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am going to Lesotho in June 2019 on a humanitarian two week project with Africa’s Gift charity along with a group of students and staff from The Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice based at Sheffield Hallam University.
I will be taking Wonderbag's into rural communities. They act like slow cookers, so that women can use the bags to cook food for up to 7 hours after initial preparation, meaning that they no longer have to cook for lengthy periods of time, also reducing time gathering and cutting wood and fetching water. This enables them instead to spend time with their children, or engage in work or education.
In Lesotho women’s life expectancy is 54 years. According to the World Health Organisation more than 4 million people die prematurely due to smoke inhalation by cooking on open fires. Smoke damage is also the main cause of blindness in the developing world.
