At Pesitho we have the vision of an improvement in the conditions of everyday life of refugee families in rural off-grid areas through clean and affordable cooking solutions.
We envision the families to be able to cook nutritious meals around the day without being threatened by poisonous smoke and gases, dangers in relation to collecting fire wood or other risks that occur due to traditional cooking methods.
Our mission is to provide clean and affordable energy for those in need, while at the same time protecting nature from deforestation. Therefore we provide those in need with the necessary tools, facilities and technology for cooking with clean energy.
In order to achieve this we have developed the ECOCA, a solar-powered cooking unit, providing additional features that facilitate everyday-life for the refugee families.
PESITHO is an active partner in a range of science projects. The target of the research activities is to apply groundbreaking innovation, science and user friendliness to ensure a cleaner planet through knowledge creation and pioneering product development.
We have previously been working with scientists from Aarhus University, the product of this collaboration being the endline report which you can find on our blog.
