Solar Box Oven
Cook with the power of the sun
With this oven you can cook without using electricity or burning fire wood.
This grey water sediment filter removes dirt particles from grey water. You can use the clean water for your garden, cleaning, or flushing the toilet. If you further treat the filtered water with the SODIS filtering method, you might even cook or drink it (only if it’s free from chemicals, like laundry powder).

Shack Dwellers Federation of NamibiaUse the screw driver to make a few holes into the bottom of bucket No 2. The small holes will slow the flow of the water.
Collect the filter materials. Wash them separately until the water comes out clean. The sand used needs to be similar to river sand (not clay or thick sand).
Take bucket 3. Place the cut T-Shirt inside and add washed charcoal. Tie up the charcoal in the T-Shirt and turn upside down so that the knot is facing down. Repeat with sand and gravel. Around half of the bucket should be filled with charcoal and the other half equally with sand and gravel.
