| Description |
The Intermediate Technology Development Group (ITDG) reports that nearly 60 000 improved fuel-efficient stoves (jikos) have been sold in Nairobi, and other urban centres in Kenya. Known as 'bell bottom jikos' because of their shape, these stoves have been adapted by ITDG and other collaborators from an original design which came from India to Kenya in the late 19th century. The charcoal-burning jiko has a ceramic liner, and is insulated with cement and vermiculite. ITDG claims that the improved insulation gives fuel savings of up to 50 % and will pay for itself after two to four months' use by the average household. The bell-bottom jiko has been developed in close cooperation with Mr. Max Kinyajui, whose workshop outside Nairobi is well known to local aid groups. It is used as a training workshop for local stove makers. For further information contact: ITDG, Myson House. Railway Terrace.
