The school year is soon coming to an end, which means school kitchens will be closed too throughout the month of December. This is the best time to conduct the institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) annual maintenance to ensure they continue operating at their highest efficiency. And remember, all of these repairs are 100% free to all schools included under Simoshi’s Project Activity.

That is why we have been stocking our warehouse with all the needed IICS insulated bricks, metal sheets and chimney parts to be ready for the annual maintenance events. Although December is the best month to perform these activities, we are continuously repairing stoves throughout the whole year. The difference is that major maintenance events, such as welding of combustion chambers and other IICS parts, can be done now, as we have the necessary time needed when the school kitchens will be closed for over 30 days.
