Last week we installed 3 institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) at Hillstone Primary School in Mbuya. This delivery was a big challenge to us, because the school is only accessible through a pedestrian walk. No trucks or cars can access the kitchen. And this meant we had to carry the 3 IICS with the help of strong men, for over 100 meters.
Each IICS can weight well above 80 kilos, depending on the size of the saucepan it was made for. Big IICS can only be delivered using cranes. Luckily this time around, the IICS were small enough to make it without the usual set up.
And the good will of those at school ready to give a helping hand, to make sure the school cooks and children can start enjoying from a clean and efficient kitchen environment.
