The Problem Objectives Background Possible Solutions Our Plan Final Solution Conclusion
Greatest Health Risk of Children Under 5 in Developing Nations Smoke Inhalation from Indoor cooking Biofuels lead to deforestation Low income levels Prefer to cook indoors
Design a low cost, sustainable, and culturally appropriate cooking system for use by poor and marginalized people in the developing world.
The system should utilize an appropriate fuel source. A business centered on the fabrication of such a system should be considered to serve a market of people who earn less than $2/day.
Primary Market Rural Kenyans Secondary Market Urban Kenyans Other Developing Countries
The cooking system must be marketable and profitably by the CYEC Reduction of harmful emissions Low cost to buy Durable Easy to use
Users Shell CYEC Manufacturers Factories, marketers, transport, supply chain
Want a cheap efficient cooker A durable product Ventilation seems to not be a problem
Mass production must be cheap Product must be reliable Need capital to start mass production
Cooking is seen as a private matter Cheaper is better Massive corruption Woman are the target audience
Fuel sources such as wood are running out Harmful things like dung are being used
Advertising Keep costs low 30% markup on sales The CYEC youths are capable of manufacturing

Majority of Kenyans already use the Jiko Current Jiko Offers: …
Hot-Dip Galvanizing Zinc or Aluminum Requires: Galvanizer kettle Zinc- $2.354/Kg
2Zn (s) + O 2(g) 2ZnO (s) ZnO (s) +CO 2(g) ZnCO 3(s) Oxidation only proceeds until a small layer of ZnCO 3(s) is produced. This protects the rest of the zinc and other metals from further Corrosion.
Will last up to double is previous life span if not more guaranteed.
This just the simple new improvement will: Increase life span of Jiko More durable Jiko More efficient in long run
Production of the new jiko A simple process which can be easily learned Will profit from the sales of the modified jiko
Production Costs $4.10 for an individual jiko Sale price $5.33 In order to create facilities in which the Jiko can be massed produced by the CYEC, a minimum of $10,000 must be gained from charitable sources
Customers can give their old jiko’s to the CYEC and receive a discount on a new CYEC made jiko The handed in jikos will be recycles saving costs
