[Stoves] World Population and Daily Income

[JJ Claire]

Many people in my area of the Philippine Island make less than $2 a day.  If I were to put up a sign stating that I have jobs for $2 a day I would have a line at my gate wanting to work.  I am not sure how long or how hard they would work but I am sure I would have a line.  I am interested in how much it would cost to get a prototype of a small stove that could use rice hulls that local people could use.  I have started several self help nutrition programs in my area and hope to add these small almost free fuel stoves to the SHNPs.  People in our area are learning that cooking as a group is cheaper than cooking as just four or five people in their own home.
Blessings,
JJ++

Dear Crispin, 
I have now retired from my job as head of Appropriate Rural Technology Institute, but three years ago, while I still served this Institute, US$300 was what I used to get as my monthly salary. I paid income tax on this income and belonged therefore to the richest 2% in the country. That is why I said that  US$10 per day per family was quite a good income.  
Yours 
A.D.Karve
