Solution Overview & Benefits

Jiko Africa is a dual-purpose, fuel-efficient charcoal/briquette stove. Waste heat from the stove is used in the insulating jacket to boil water, creating safe drinking water and a reduction of waterborne diseases. Additionally, as charcoal is a smokeless fuel, it reduces air pollution when compared with traditional three-stone cooking techniques.

The jacket can be filled with three liters of water in an inner boiling chamber, further enhancing heat transfer efficiency. The user can simultaneously boil water, thus sanitizing it, and use the stove more efficiently for cooking tasks.

History & Development

In 2014, STAMP received a grant from Grand challenges Canada, to establish a fabrication facility, refine and pilot their firewood stove, the Jiko Kenya.
