7. 7 Kakute stove One of Pamoja’s Tanzanian partner organizations, Kakute Ltd, a private sector manufacturing and marketing firm, recently developed a wick-type liquid fuel stove that works very well with Moringa oil. It can be fabricated in local blacksmith shops and will sell in Africa for about US$5. This is competitive with the stoves used to burn charcoal and will allow it to penetrate the market in a way that a more expensive stove would not.
