About the Project
(1) Improve and manufacture a simple ventilation system for kitchens in rural or peri-urban African dwellings that uses electrical power generated from thermoelectric cells driven by waste heat from cooking fires. (2) Develop and test improved ceramic drinking water filter system that uses less fuel-wood to fire the kiln. (3) Design and implement ventilation and water filter manufacturing workshop in Zambia. Use sales to support social enterprise for further dissemination of filters and ventilators. These activities will improve the health of children, women, and men where the products are implemented.
