Many
people in the African slums cook with charcoal, poor quality lamp oil, wood or
even waste. They aren't aware of the negative effects on eyes and airways.
The Brotherhood Foundation, in Nairobi is
the first youth group National Oil is working with is selling 424 gas cylinders
for 2910 Kenyan shilling (25 euros) each. The youngsters themselves earn 120
shillings (1 euro) per cylinder.
On top
of the cylinder a burner can be attached while it can also be used as a gas
lamp. “Cooking with this stove is much faster than using charcoal, which makes
it cheaper”, one of the customers proclaims. In advance, National Oil trained
the youth in sales techniques and how to use and connect the cylinders. The
youngsters also take care of the refilling.
