[Stoves] Question about Kenyan stove maker Mukuru that won the million dollar Earth Shot Prize (Patricia Mcardle)

	I don’t understand how this is still happening.  If the stoves were making char, rather than consuming it, the cooks would  be making money, with better health conditions and obeying the law.

Starts off:
		Charcoal regulation in Kenya is confusing. For instance, the question of ‘is charcoal production illegal in Kenya?’ is quite complicated. The simple answer is, yes, charcoal production is illegal in Kenya.  According to the Kenya Forest Conservation and Management Act (2016 <http://silvica.site/kenya-forest-conservation-and-management-act/>). Under other offences, section 67, 1e of the act states that ‘Any person who makes or is found in possession of charcoal in a national, county or provisional forest; or in the community forest, private forest or farmlands without a licence or permit of the owner as the case may be’ commits an offence.

	with ten more paragraphs that make it sound even worse..
