Mission

To promote these technologies to middle and low level farmers within the Kenyan communities on a sustainable level. Entrepreneurs earn profits from selling these technologies. Communities improve living standards by saving on fuelwood costs, time and reduced indoor air pollution. We promote Jiko Kisasa stoves, Rocket stoves to households, social institutions and for productive use. These stoves have been adopted by the communities and they are feeling the positive impacts of using the stoves.
