Over the next three years, BURN Tanzania aims to expand to Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, DRC, Nigeria and Ghana, launch five new products and increase production capacity in Kenya from 400,000 to 1 million per month. When BURN first started, there was little confidence in the cookstove industry to deliver tangible results. Over the past 10 years, BURN has built a successful business while proving that cookstoves can have transformative social, financial and environmental impacts. A recent study by UC Berkeley shows that a domestic investment of $40 to buy a Jikokoa generates a staggering return of $1,000 for the society. In 2014, BURN launched its first full manufacturing facility in Kenya – the first and only of its kind. BURN is now the only vertically integrated modern cookstove company in sub-Saharan Africa. The solar-powered facility currently has a capacity of 400,000 stoves per month and employs over 2,500 people, half of whom are women. Clean Cooking is a key driver of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) success. The use of open fires and solid fuels for cooking is one of the world’s most pressing health and environmental problems, directly impacting close to half the world’s population and causing nearly 4 million premature deaths each year.
