Achievements
- Over 15 development films have
been produced internationally in Malawi, Tanzania, Papua
New Guinea, Peru and rural Alaska, covering environmental
conservation, policies and practices for sustainable development
and health and agro forestry. These films were made for
the International Red Cross, United Nations Development
Program, United States Agency for International Development,
UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the European Union,
various sectarian development organisations and the Alaska
public schools system.
- In the technology-consulting area,
over the past six years the principals have conducted demonstrations
and training in five nations for thousands of individuals.
Of these, 40% have become trainers and extend their skills
to thousands of others.
- Over 70% of the training efforts
result in self sustaining programs. That figure improves
dramatically where we have support to provide the necessary
media awareness with which to launch the project in the
community.
- Six technical training and applications manuals have been developed which cover important aspects of the agro-residue fuel briquette technology. These manuals are based on ten year's experience in the field and the lab. Manual titles include Porta Press™: A Users Manual, Porta Press™: Construction Manual Fuel
Briquette Press Kit: A Construction Manual,
Briquette making:
A User's Manual, Fuel
Briquettes; A Trainer's Manual
and Fuel Briquettes:
Theory and Applications from Around the World. For detailed descriptions and ordering information, please click here.
- Design and implementation of a
wide range of sustainable technologies in renewable energy,
water supply, sanitation and rural transport. Some of these
have included ground breaking designs in windmills, biogas
generators, passive solar heaters, fuelwood alternatives
including briquettes and bicycle trailers for rural medical
transport .
