Baker Stove: A Cook Stove that will change the Developing World

Majority of women in the developing world prepare food and purify water on a traditional technology called a three-stone fire. It is basically three rocks that support a pot with an open fire in the middle. This cooking style has been proven to be inefficient and leads to many environmental and health problems.

That is why Top Third Ventures Ltd, a company registered in Kenya has come up with Baker Stove, a solution to replace the three-stone fire. The 100% locally manufactured stove is thermal efficient allowing women to cook with only a third of the wood they used to use and in much less time.
