Introducing electric pressure cookers in Kakuma

Most of the 258,000 people living in and around refugee settlement Kakuma Kenya still use traditional cooking methods. These have a negative impact on health, gender equality and the environment. With access to electricity in the settlement through a solar-powered mini-grid system, Energising Development (EnDev) saw an opportunity to introduce electric pressure cookers (EPCs) as an alternative to biomass cooking. This pilot project aims to create local capacity and spread knowledge about the importance of using EPCs safely. This videos shows the project’s success and encourages the use of EPCs to improve access to clean cooking methods and create a healthier planet for all.
