Teddy,

Thank you sharing that piece of news form Wisdom Stoves.

I like what Nathan and Daniel are doing; very much relates & similar to
what Awamu <http://www.awamu.ug>is doing here in Uganda.

I wish the entire team of Wisdom stoves much success...

In Service,

> *HAPPY JAMHURI DAY!*  On Dec. 12, 2016, Nathan hand delivered 30 new
> Wisdom stoves to Broadvision families on Jamhuri/Kenyan Independence Day!
> We are so grateful to all of you for supporting these families, most of
> which include HIV positive widowed mothers or families raising orphans. We
> pray that these stoves will bring relief by eliminating the smoke they
> normally breathe while cooking, especially with their weakened immune
> systems.  Wisdom stoves will reduce their need to collect or buy wood to
> cook, saving them time and money.  Read more here about our ongoing Hope
> to Live Initiative.

> *FLAMINGO FARMS:* The Wisdom Innovations staff conducted two days of
> training at Flamingo Farms in Nanyuki, Kenya. This farm is a large
> vegetable and flower exporter and employs thousands of workers.  This
> community is host site for a Wisdom stove trial, and we hope to be the
> brand chosen to collaborate with the Swiss company supporting this project.
> If our M2 is the winning cookstove design, based on feedback from the trial
> stove users, we will be able to distribute 1,200 new Wisdoms stoves into
> the community. The ability to create charcoal while cooking in a safer,
> healthier way will change many lives there!
> *WINROCK GRANT:* Our business partner in Kenya, Wisdom Innovations,
> recently received a $25,000 grant from Winrock International (funded by
> USAID) in order to pilot innovative financing strategies and affordable
> payment options for fuel-efficient cookstoves. Over the next 4 months, our
> Workshop Manager, Dan Waithaka, will continue to lead Wisdom stove trials
> in new-to-us communities of Narok and Kajiado.  In the photo above,
> families learn about best practices with the M2 cookstove.

> The two most common methods of cooking in our partner community of
> Kinangop are a traditional three-stone fire and a hibachi-type grill.  Our
> Wisdom stove design addresses the serious health concerns related to the
> three-stone fire, while also creating charcoal for future use!  Check out

> *From Our Photo Album*
> Starting the fire for the noon meal, Njeri is leaning with her head to the
> right, blowing into a two foot metal pipe to get the fire started.  Her
> youngest child is strapped to her back.  The smoke is thick and choking,
> stinging the eyes.  Because all meals are cooked, the fire must be started
> at least three times a day. Kenyan women work in this position, bent at the
> waist, back straight,  while working in the fields, chopping wood or
> gardening.
>
> Nathan took this picture on a trip to the market in Engineer, the closest
> larger town to the Wisdom Workshop, during the short rains of November.
> Vendors cover wares at night and display them to sell seven days a week.
> Sunday is the busiest day when worshipers arrive in town to attend
> churches.
> Kimani, Nathan and John explore the Wildlife Sanctuary in Naivasha in
> December.  Would you like to learn more about Wisdom staff and volunteers?

> *Did You Know?*
> *Key Motivating Factors from the World Health Organization (WHO)*
>
> 1. *Around 3 billion people* cook and heat their homes using open fires
> and simple stoves burning biomass (wood, animal dung and crop waste) and
> coal.
>
> 2. *Over 4 million people* die prematurely from illness attributable to
> the household air pollution from cooking with solid fuels.
>
> 3. Fuel gathering consumes considerable time for *women and children*,
> limiting other productive activities (e.g. income generation) and taking
> children away from school. In less secure environments, women and children
> are at risk of injury and violence during fuel gathering.
