Fuel efficient cookers at the Ruuju School Kitchen

We saw fuel efficient cookers in use at the Ruuju school kitchen yesterday. There are three cookers in the newly built kitchen at the Ruuju school in Marega.
These cookers are manufactured by Boto-Solar Systems Ltd in Nakuru, Kenya. They are insulated around the outside to contain the heat. The cooking pan sits down close to the fire and is covered with a large top. There is no smoke in the kitchen because it goes out the three chimneys.
The heat comes from wood which is placed in a fire-box below the cooker. The cook told us that she only uses two small bunches of branches (wood) to cook the food in a cooker.
She was using three cookers to prepare lunch for the 450 students at the Ruuju school. One cooker had porridge in it made for the 72 primary (kindergarten) school children made from finger millet and sorghum and some beans. This would be fed to them at 11:00 before they go home for the day. The other two cookers had maize and beans for the rest of the children. Vegetables from the school garden were also added. The kale and carrots were harvested fresh and washed.

Hi,
just came across this blog in my various searches as a volunteer with Nabuur.com
It's very impressive work you are doing. I will visit again and again to see what you are doing, I'm Kenyan currently in Romania and seeing this blog made me miss home..
I will always return.
Great work, and also inspiring for my volunteer work with african villages.

Hi, as I was travelling to Nairobi from Eldoret, I made a stopover at a petrol station where the Boto solar products were on display. I was so impressed and I wish to inquire the prices of your different cookers. Otherwise keep up the good work and spread you products to different towns in kenya e.g Nairobi.

The third message from heaven...
If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
