Currently we are fundraising for:
For a long time, our builder advisor, David Virgin from Australia has been investigating how the NLAI organization can reduce the use of firewood for cooking at the school, where 600 people get 2 meals on all school days.
When David visited NLAI in Kenya in May 2024, he went to Nairobi together with our manager Kennedy to learn what the big schools are doing to reduce the use of firewood to avoid creating so much pollution.
In Nairobi they visited a school that cooked all food for the children using a steam plant, which has reduced the consumption of firewood to a quarter of the normal amount. Alternatively, the plant can be heated by gas, but the use of gas is still expensive in Kenya.
A facility like the incinerator as well as large industrial steam pots to prepare meals for 600 people is quite expensive, but we consider it to be a good investment. It will reduce the costs of firewood, protect the health of our employees in the kitchen and cause less pollution of the environment.
We have obtained an offer which amounts to approx. £28,000 / $37000 for this equipment and fixtures. Together with the construction of a new kitchen as well as a new dining room the budget totals approx. £113.000 / $149000.
If you want to support this project, please write “Kitchen & dining room” on your donation. Thank you for your donation.
