Reduce Incidences of Child Mortality Due to Water Borne Illnesses and Increase Access to Clean Water

Contaminated water is blamed for widespread diseases, such as rotavirus, diarrhea and dysentery, contributing to approximately a third of deaths among rural school-age children in Kenya.  This project has created a biomass stove featuring an innovative, built-in jacket that can be filled with five litres of water that helps insulate the stove, making it more fuel efficient, and allows the user to boil water and cook simultaneously.
