Training for Women’s Economic Empowerment in Solar-Powered Refrigerators

The tool developed by Mercy Corps focuses on teaching women how to effectively use and maintain solar freezers for business. It compares horizontal and vertical freezer models, explaining why horizontal types are better for long-term storage. The training also covers freezer components (e.g., ventilation grilles, defrost outlets, compressors), recommended practices (like loading in the morning to enhance efficiency), and common mistakes to avoid (such as using sharp objects or steam). It highlights the importance of temperature control and using coolers during product sales, and it concludes with a practical quiz to reinforce the learning. Learning: English
