Mama Carol lives in Bahati, Nakuru county, Kenya.
Mama Carol's kitchen is in need of some refurbishment.
Her traditional stove emits a lot of smoke, uses up excessive amounts of charcoal, and does not have a long product life. She is in need of a modern and clean cookstove.
Mama has quite the kitchen garden! She grows bananas, spinach, avocados, rears chicken and even has a heiffer. However, she isn't getting sufficient produce and needs our help to improve her yields.
Of most importance is improving the cookstove Mama Carol uses. Hesbon from EcoZoom introduces Mama to the Jikobora cookstove, which is a cleaner and more efficient cookstove.
The best thing is that with an EcoZoom Jiko bora stove uses less than half the amount of charcoal so Mama will be able to save money Ksh 420 every week!
Veronica from KUSSCO reassure's Mama Carol that the stove is well within her reach financially.
The importance of a balanced diet is emphasised so mama can cook healthy food for the entire family in her updated kitchen.
With the help of the Shamba Chef presenters, Mama Carol learns how diversifying her food intake will provide all the nutritional benefits that she and her family need.
The entire family enjoys the wholesome meal prepared by Chef Damaris and Mama Carol.
Look at her brand new Jiko Bora cookstove from EcoZoom. This cookstove will save her money if used instead of the traditional jiko.
The Jiko Bora cookstove is easy to light compared with the traditional jiko and is fuel efficient.
New surfaces are fitted which make the kitchen easier to wipe, helping to maintain a healthy and clean cooking environment.
Mama Carol will now be able to cook all the delicious and nutritious recipes she learnt in a cleaner and safer cooking environment for her family.
