Fuel efficient stoves
Wood is still the fuel most often used throughout Malawi for cooking; in the traditional cooking method, three stones are placed on the ground with the cooking pot on top and burning sticks placed underneath. This approach is costly in terms of the amount of wood used and in the time it takes to get enough heat to cook. It is also detrimental to health causing a lot of smoke inhalation and often the unsteady nature of the cooking pot results in accidents, with scalds and burns commonplace
Working with a local charity we are trialling the introduction of fuel efficient stoves. which are estimated to use 65% less fire wood, thereby preserving woodlands.
Two large stoves have been installed, one at Chirunga School and the other at the church hall. Soon we shall start the roll out across the other 21 schools
