The
ambition |
|
|
There is no need for us to teach
the women here how to cook or to offer them new recipes. This is enough
innovation on its own. We focus on the foods they know. We want the food prepared
in the New Cooking Bag to be less time consuming, more healthy, less taxing on
the environment, cheaper, tastier and safer. |

|
10.000 New Cooking Bags means that on top of the seven very good
reasons to use the New Cooking Bag, we would also save 17.000
trees…17.000! We should plant these just to show how much that
is! As a constant reminder that a better environment starts at
home! |
| |
 |
|
|
Trees in the
savannah around Tamale are sparse so we should be very
environmentally conscious of them! |

What we
would like to achieve.
There are two things we want to achieve with this project.
We would like for the New Cooking Bag to claim her spot in
the cooking areas of the compounds and become a standard
tool for more and more Ghanian women. We would also like to
raise consciousness in the people of Tamale and surroundings,
concerning the environment; try to make them see that
something has to change. This will be a huge task.
Quantification
Our goal is to have introduced 10.000 New Cooking Bags in
Tamale and its surrounding villages by the end of 2020.
Distributed in such a way that they are actually and with
regularity being put to use.
We shall evaluate these goals throughout the process and
adapt them if necessary.
Bjella-Bjella….Step by step
As the locals say: ‘bjella-bjella…step by step, and that is
how we are going to do it. We started with a long process of
testing, trial cooking and manufacturing the New Cooking Bag
in the best way possible. It was all new to the ladies involved
in the project and they needed to become adept at using them.
They needed to discover the advantages for themselves to
then give demonstrations and educate other women we met at women’s
meetings, at the market or at their compound.
We reach women via media, at events and in the workshop
where they can follow the whole process start to finish:
easy, healthy and tasty food, prepared in an environmentally friendly
way!
Cooking with the New Cooking Bag saves time, time you can
spend doing more valuable things….

Sponsors |
|
|
|
We are looking for
sponsors.
The contribution we can ask of the women in Ghana, isn’t nearly
enough to cover the costs of the project. This means we are
constantly in search of people and/or organizations who will
help us by making a financial contribution and make our
activities possible. |

Fantastic |
|
|
Wouldn’t it be fantastic
if we could keep the many trees in our landscape. Trees that
children can climb in… trees that the weaver birds can continue
to decorate with their elaborate nests, and where the elders can
continue telling stories in their shade! |
