The Darfur Stoves Project Wins a 2013 Tech Award

November 15, 2013

The Darfur Stoves Project, now managed by the non-profit organization Potential Energy, originated as an effort at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to develop fuel-efficient stoves. These stoves reduced the need for women in the Darfur camps to forage for wood, where they were exposed to violence. Learn more at the link below. The project’s efforts are now expanding to other regions. The Tech Awards are presented by the Tech Museum of Innovation, Santa Clara California. These awards honor laureates from around the world for their efforts to use technology to benefit humanity. Tech Awards laureates are individuals, non-profit organizations and for-profit companies. The technology they use is either a new invention or an innovative use of an existing technology.
