Stoves are installed!

By Diana Richardson | Executive Director

Two new industrial stoves manufactured by InStove.org were successfully installed at the Children's Centre in August. A group of Americans carried the stoves over in their carry-ons and reassembled the stoves on site. The cooks took some time to get used to them, and were skeptical of how little fuel is required. A couple months later though, and the cooks are delighted and convinced that these are the "best stoves ever." Today the Centre is using less than 5 kg of wood a day to feed over 200 children, a huge benefit in this dry semi-arid region where wood is scarce, saving a large sum of money in fuel costs. Needing just 5 kg of wood, our local guardians are able to forage for the wood thereby also contributing to the cost savings. The cooks are able to cook rice in one pot and beans in another for the hundreds of children that come to the centre daily for a hot nutritious meal. Kale, tomatoes and eggplant from our garden help round out the nutrition for the vulnerable hungry children. Thank you easing the cost burden, providing the cooks with new technology, and most of all for helping feed the kids efficiently!
