Solar Cookers International (SCI) is a US-based NGO that spreads solar cooking awareness and skills worldwide, particularly in areas with plentiful sunshine and diminishing sources of cooking fuel.

Tens of thousands of individuals and organization from all over the world have learned about solar cooking through SCI's excellent publications and educational materials, and have benefited from SCI's information exchange networks, research, technical support, and the SCI-sponsored Solar Cooking Archive, the internationally recognized Internet resource for solar cooking information. SCI publishes [http://solarcooking.org/docs.htm#Newsletters Solar Cooker Review] three time a year.
