On April 1, 2024, the V2SDF project was presented at MIT Vishwaprayag University in Solapur, Maharashtra. Elena Castrillo and Juan Bello engaged with the university’s leadership team, faculty, and students to showcase the project’s mission of promoting sustainability through vocational education.

The presentation highlighted how the project integrates solar cooking technologies to address deforestation and improve health conditions, particularly in Burundi. Attendees were inspired by the practical applications of solar cookers and their potential to create a significant environmental and social impact.

The event provided a valuable platform for dialogue, encouraging the exchange of ideas and fostering connections between the university and the V2SDF project. This collaboration marks another step forward in building global awareness and commitment to sustainable practices.
