It’s an official wrap for Term 2, children, teachers and cooks can go home to get their well deserved rest. Schools will be opening their doors once again for the last term of the year, starting on 18th of September and finalising on the last week of December.

For us, it is a busy maintenance period of 3 weeks as we repair all institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) free of cost to all schools. Best of times as kitchens are not in operation.

We prepare the hectic schedule in advance with our partner Uganda Stove Manufacturers Limited (Ugastove) to make sure we are continuously improving the IICS quality and all its components. Here below we share some pictures of our meeting earlier this week, with Rehema and Crispus from Ugastove, and Robert and Virginia from Simoshi. We discussed the metal gauge of sheets used and durability of chimney pipes and stove connectors.
