Employed 30 youths and fed 300 children daily
In partnership with the Community Cooker Foundation, Nestle, One Chuom Youth Reform Group, and Mathare Community School (MCO), we ran a 2 month pilot. We repaired an existing Community Cooker at MCO school to provide breakfast and lunch for their 300 school children and to bake and sell fresh bread to the community.
Students of MCO school and 100 local families were encouraged to bring their daily domestic waste to school to fuel the Community Cooker.
The purpose of the pilot project was to get statistics and feedback on the business model. The aim was to create a sustainable solution for household waste, youth unemployment and food insecurity.
We partnered with One Chuom youth reform group from Kibera and youths from Mathare to run the project on the ground. 17 youths worked on rotation as cooks and waste managers.
With the help of the community, approx. 100kg of waste were removed from the community daily and incinerated.
Using the heat of the Community Cooker, we baked and sold an average of 60 loaves of bread a day to the community.
