Entrepreneur offers energy solutions to women in rural Kenya

A woman tests the multipurpose jiko as her collegues look on in Githunguri, KiambuThursday, September 29, 2011 - Keneth Ndua wears many hats. He is a Gender Studies lecturer; he has taught women on sustainable livelihoods; and is Explo’s Kenya patron, an organisation trying to mould the youth of Kenya. He is also a husband and father.

However, one thing that captures the heart of this St. Pauls University lecturer is entrepreneurship. He is determined to improve the lives of Kenyans, and especially, women in rural Kenya.

Having grown up in rural Kiambu, Ndua understands all too well that boiling drinking water is an expensive and time consuming affair. In his world, as he grew up, a typical kitchen never lacks a cooking pot, makeshift firewood shed and of course a jiko completes the picture.
