The foundations of the new kitchen at Kizzigo. The new building will make work more pleasant and manageable for people like the lady above. It will also be far more hygienic and feature energy saving stoves which vastly reduce the cost of firewood and hopefully make the cost of lunch more accessible for poorer children.
