Background information
The project aims to construct energy efficient cook stoves for rural communities in the Siaya, County
Rural villages such as Siaya, the supply of modern energy carriers such as electricity and fossil fuels is very limited and expensive.
In Siaya county only 1.4% of the population use electricity for lighting and only 0.1% for cooking purpose. To meet their basic energy needs households rely on locally available biomass fuels such as firewood and also occasionally charcoal: almost 90% of households use firewood for cooking and 9% use charcoal for preparing their meals.
TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 3
Households in Siaya county traditionally cook on open fires consisting of 3 stones, in this way burning large amounts of fuel wood in a very inefficient way.

TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 5
This has severe impacts at the social (e.g. health) and environmental levels (e.g. deforestation, CO2-emissions).
This project aims to mitigate these impacts by introducing energy efficient cook stoves to Siaya communities in Kenya. The efficient cook stove is a biomass rocket stove designed for burning wood and consisting of two cooking units that can be separately fired. The stove is fixed and installed in households

Community Savings and Loaning
(CSL) Community saving and loaning is a local
capital mobilization methodology that seeksto address the unmet needs of the poorhouseholds brought about by poverty as wellas the existing gap in the major financialservices providers like the banks andinsurance companies.
Savings- led microfinance groups lead tofinancial and social empowerment ofindividuals, households and communities,creating a platform for holistic communitydevelopment on which community-basedproblem solving flourishes.TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 9
CS&L Benefits
It provides very poor households with
effective, low cost means of improving
livelihood security. The financial, social
and human capital that locals especially
women develop through regular saving-
led micro-finance group meetings is
transferred to an amazing array of
actions that result in behavior change.
TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 10
It provides platform for community
members to embrace e-banking
innovations enhancing financial
deepening & stabilizing rural financial
markets.
These groups use their socio-political
and economic positions and group clout
to lobby for change and realize a myriad
of developmental endeavors for their
communities.
TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 11
It provides an opportunity for the poor to
acquire essential but costly household
assets such as the energy efficient
cook stoves out of their long term
savings under the ASSET BASED
FUND component that the community
members are trained and closely
monitored to operationalize among the
self selected group members.

It enhances social inclusion among thecommunity members by regularly meetingevery week to apart from saving and loaningalso brainstorms on the possible ways ofuplifting group members to springeconomically and possible ways ofcushioning members who might be facedwith emergencies such as deaths, hospitalbills other emergencies that are specifiedand approved in their self preparedconstitution. This is done under the CSLmicro-insurance scheme that all themembers subscribe to through weeklycontribution of a uniform amount of moneyand collected as the SOCIAL FUND.

CSL consist of 6 comprehensive modules:
Module 1: Individual Self Screening
Module 2: Group Formation and Governance
Module 3: Policies and Regulations
Module 4: Development of CSL Constitution
Module 5: Written Record Keeping and management of Meeting
Module 6: Meeting Procedures, Share out and graduation
Climate Education, Awareness
and nature conservation Awareness creation is conducted
through locational’s Chief Barazas,
churches, schools
CS&L groups plays critical role in
community mobilization and

ICS and nature conservation
From the FT (Kitchen test) we know that a Tembea stove uses 1.32t of fuel wood per year. With an energy content of fuel wood being 15GJ/t and its being a rocket type stove with thermal efficiency being at most 33%, then potential useful energy in a year is 6.53 GJ (1.32t x 15GJ x 0.33). This energy is delivered in at least 1hour 30min (30 minutes breakfast, 30 minutes lunch time and 30 minutes supper time) a day, which translates to at least 1.971 million seconds in a year. Hence the power rating of the Tembea stove is about 3.3 kW (6.53GJ/1.971 M sec). This is far away less than 150KW thermal power output threshold for technologies under this methodology.

Baseline and Project non-renewable
biomass (NRB) assessment
The renewability status of fuel wood has been analysed within Siaya County, which is considered as the plausible collection area for fuel wood in the project. The analysis shows that there is more fuel wood that is used from the available stock within Siaya County than can re-grow. This fraction of non-renewable biomass is calculated as 75.99%. The figure is supported by qualitative figures, which show a high biomass deficit of 72.07% for Nyanza province. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE

Challenges and efforts to address
them
Need for Structured training: Toensure consistence and quality, thetraining offered must continue to bemonitored and be consistent both incontent and approach, providingroom for continuous stoveimprovement.◦ This requires strategic partnership with
institution of higher learning andproportionate investment.
TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 28
challanges
Awareness and educational
materials: Relative increase in
demand for the efficient cookstoves
have been observed in the recent
past, posing pressure on project
scope. Hence, the need for sufficient
investment in awareness and
education both for users and potential
clients – leading to subsequent
customer satisfaction..

Challenges
TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 30
Vastness of the Project area – As the projectmoves into full scale, there shall be need forstructured and efficient monitoring schemeadopted. Requiring additionalmotorcycles/vehicle, and field based offices.
Socio-economic capacities of targetcommunity; the communities targeted by thisproject, are faced with high poverty levels andhigh unemployment. A new dimension that isaffecting project success is the increase in fossilfuel prices that ends up having an impact in localcommodity prices and more so food stuff. Thistranslates to a decline in spending on non fooditems, consequently leading to late/delayedrepayment at CSL groups.
Key Lessons learnt..
Inherent socio-economic challenges facing
communities is not be a hindrance to
creating for demand clean household
energy, thus, integration of a flexible
savings led microfinance forms an integral
part with far reaching benefits
environmentally, socially, and economically.
Flexible project –financial planning and
creativity yields results especially when
dealing with communities that have pre-
arranged seasons and/or activities in the
annual calendar.TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 31
Lessons Learnt…
Working with a host of local
stakeholders, government agencies and
community networks has far reaching
impacts and inherent benefits to the
project beneficiaries, whereas
overcoming systemic obstacles that pose
threat to continuation/scaling up- of
project such as this.
Opportunities for research and
development for knowledge
dissemination and community based
solution delivery…TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 32
Lessons Learnt…
Working with schools can yield better
results in adaptation of the project
ideals, especially with regard to linking
activities with climate change and
CO2 emissions. More environmental
clubs should be established in the
schools with catchments in the project
areas.
