This academic year is now coming to an end. Government aided schools have closed their doors on Friday 6th of December. Children have been very busy throughout November sitting for their final exams. This coming week of December children will collect their grade reports, and say goodbye to their teachers and friends until February 2025, when the academic year starts once again.
Throughout 2024, we have been proudly supporting 115 primary and secondary schools in their kitchens, ensuring cooking happens efficiently every single day, so schools can save at least 50% of their firewood expenditures, children can have their meals served on time, cooks can enjoy a smoke free and safe environment, and ultimately, that a clean kitchen environment is achieved.
This means that throughout our monthly visits and monitoring activities, we have positively impacted the lives of over 104,000 individuals (children, cooks, school staff) who have witnessed the transformation in the kitchen and food halls, and that such change can be sustained throughout time as we make 8 years since we have been walking together hand in hand, ensuring the institutional improved stoves continue to perform at their highest level, through the free annual maintenance provided to all.
