CoolMunal, a community cold storage solution for 20 families was designed. The aim is not only to reduce food wastage in Sub-Saharan African, but also improve the nutrition and diet of the population.
The high cost of a personal fridge, and the lack of access to proper grid electricity were considered.  
The solution found to give these populations access to a cold storage is a community shared fridge. There are individual compartments, that are cooled using solar collectors to power an absorption cycle. Auxiliary electronics such as pumps and a fan are powered from the 12V DC,
