Healthy and Safe Kitchens 

Notes

Suzan went to the village and carried out a first monitoring and evaluation process. when she arrived, she found some five committee group leaders and among the was the group chairperson who walked with her in different homes. The main purpose of this evaluation was to find out weather the participants were cooking on their fuel efficient stoves on the daily basis and also to if they had maintained other program facilities. In the process, Suzan observed that most homes had greatly improved on their general sanitation and hygiene around their homes and were happily cooking on their fuel saving stoves although other stoves had cracks on them. She encouraged the participants to keep maintaining their facilities by smearing them so that they looked neat and lasted longer. Most kitchens were well smeared and with well constructed strong firewood storages. During the interviews, the women reported that they were enjoying cooking on their new stoves because they cooked food faster, no more smoke inhalation, saved firewood and no more accidents in the kitchens. Suzan was able to evaluate 22 homes that day and planned to complete the remaining homes in the next coming visit.
