Here is a video of Pastor John Atieno at Neema Children's Home talking about the Super Jiko stoves that the home is now using. We had a family provide funding for the purchase of these stoves. The stoves reduce the amount of wood that is needed, reduce the smoke that is produced, and cook the food at a higher and more consistent temperature. The cooks really love them.
There was very severe flooding in this area earlier this year. Some of the irrigation equipment we supplied last year was damaged. We are in the process of preparing an improved area for the irrigation and getting the needed replacement parts. They have also installed drip irrigation in their garden area and have just planted their second round of vegetables.
EDEN along with the Neema Board supplied rainwater harvesting equipment for the home to use. The gutters were installed earlier this year on the dormitory building as shown in the picture. We are adding another 10,000 liter tank to increase the storage capacity of the system. We will also supply a large Uzima water filter so that the water can be used for consumption when needed.
