Recently John Maitland, our founder, on a visit to Uganda arranged a meeting with some of the local farmers in Ngandho Parish at Paul and Betty Mumbwe's house.
John was very interested to see and show the other farmers Paul and Betty's kitchen with its new smokeless oven.
The oven was build by the Uganda Development Services team supported by SOFRA (Smokeless Ovens for Africa ).
These new stoves are made of a mixture of termite mound, a sticky mud when wet, and cut up straw. This then makes an excellent insulator compared with the
· A chimney takes the smoke from the kitchen
· It uses less than half the fuel - firewood
· It cooks very quickly
· It is safe for children and lowers fire risk
· Food is easily kept warm
· It cooks two pans at a time.
Take a look at our Flickr album for more images, together we are making a difference........
