- The Jiko stove will help to reduce the fuel costs for the school.
Every day in difficult circumstances and with limited equipment, Nancy Khasiala the school cook assisted by a community volunteer, provides a breakfast of porridge as well as a daily meal of maize and beans for the 100 children at Patmos Junior School. The breakfast of porridge is funded by Orphan Outreach and the School Maize and Bean Farm provides about half of the food for the School Feeding Programme.
The provision of this Jiko stove will now make it so much easier for Nancy to provide these meals for the children. It will also help to dramatically reduce the fuel costs for the school and will create a healthier work environment for Nancy and her community volunteer helpers.
