Thank you Crispin for this long overdue insight in the 
great work NDE has been doing for a long time. I know you don't like to blow 
your own trumpet to loud but there is nothing wrong with being proud of ones 
achievements - even here on this forum.

I for one feel privileged to have NDE - and you 
amongst others - on board for our pilot here in The Gambia.

Cheers
George from the jungle

  Dear 
  Marc

  New 
  Dawn Engineering www.newdawnengineering,com is a 
  privately owned company dedicated to creating wealth in the hands of others 
  formed in 1981. The best way to do that is to make tools that can be used to 
  create wealth, tools that are well made and well-conceived (with the business 
  plan in mind) to be able to generate income in an environment where there is 
  no electricity. There are several of our hand-operated rock crushers and 
  sand-cement roof tile makers in Cameroon. There are 90 more of the crushers in 
  Haiti processing building rubble.

  It 
  happens that New Dawn Eng makes a couple of stoves, sometimes other large 
  ones, sometimes industrial heat applications for dyeing cloth and so on. We 
  have made manually and hydraulically operated stove making tools, for example 
  press tools for metal parts and clay presses for ceramic stove parts. It is a 
  tiny portion of the business. Stoves have been sold to perhaps 15 or 20 
  countries. Can’t remember.

  We 
  will never become rich doing this because our target market does not have much 
  money, but we have created a bit less than 10,000 jobs in rural and peri-urban 
  manufacturing. So it can be said that we have to a certain extent achieved the 
  primary goals which were to survive and also to launch others in 
  self-sustaining income generation. 

  The 
  activities of the company have generated about 10 patents, two design awards 
  (for a stove), one business plan design award and New Dawn Eng was one of four 
  finalists in the “Corporate Environmentalist of the Year” in the WWF-sponsored 
  1993 event for Southern Africa. The other three were the Shell Foundation, the 
  Mazda Wildlife Fund and Londolozi Game reserve (who won the final). 

  The 
  company trains all staff including machinists, welders, assemblers, admin, CAD 
  operators and sales personnel ‘off the street’ to show that people can achieve 
  great things if given the chance and proper training. Manufacturing started in 
  1984. Thousands of people use equipment copied from our products. In 2009 the 
  manufacturing operation was sold to the staff for a price they could afford. 
  It is as far as I know, the only manufacturing company in Swaziland’s Matsapha 
  (formal sector) Industrial park wholly owned by local 
  citizens.

  The 
  fact that I mostly work on stoves these days is by accident and interest. 
  Neither activity gets my full attention. The world is full of valuable 
  distractions. I spend a lot of time researching physical phenomena including 
  climate issues and materials science.

  Thanks 
  for asking. I wish you success in your endeavours.
  Crispin

  please Crispin

  ?
