Our plans for the Usalama Kitchen are still in the planning phases and details will be determined by dimensions obtained while on the ground.  Our strategy revolves around creating an efficient wood/coal burning "rocket" stove built out of local materials - while constructing a roof structure that uses the prevailing wind condition to ensure proper ventilation of the space.  The materials used will be mostly mud brick, leftover roof panels from the old kitchen, and minimal amounts of concrete.  Use of such materials will permit maximum opportunity for repetition throughout the community.
