The TURBO Revolution
In August, BURN partnered with one of East Africa’s leading PAYG solar home providers to conduct a field pilot of our forced-draft TURBO stove. Joash Ngetich, one of the pilot participants, said “Unlike other firewood stoves that produce a lot of smoke and consume lots of wood, which negatively impact the environment; the Kuniokoa TURBO is the best jiko I have ever used!"
We also wanted to acknowledge the amazing team that joined BURN in developing the TURBO, including, GlobalGood (now Global Health Labs), Aprovecho Research Center, University of Washington, and BURN Design Lab (501c3).
