THE GALLERY

Here's your chance to see how zeer pots are making a difference in Sudan with a collection of photographs of them being made and used by Sudanese families. Simple solutions to help eradicate poverty. Please give a gift today and help reach communities in need.

  • Harvested crops A farmer shows the crops she has harvested, tomatoes and aubergine.
  • Zenab Saleh Zenab Saleh (6 years old) in one of the large outer pots used to make a zeer pot.
  • Zeer pot fridge Two women carry the larger outer pot needed to make a zeer pot ‘fridge’
  • Darfur Adding sand between the inner and outer pot in Darfur.
  • Adding water to the fridge Adding water to the sand to keep it moist so that, through evaporation, it provides insulation between the inner and outer pot.
  • Zeer pot demonstration Women living in Darfur demonstrate how zeer pots can be used to store food.
  • Fresh vegetables A ceramic zeer pot on a metal wire, in use showing the stored vegetables - in this case, tomatoes and okra.
