• COMMUNITY COOKER (Jiko ya jamii in Swahili)
   In the mid-1990s, Nairobi-based architect Jim Archer was increasingly concerned about the amount of discarded refuse piling up in Kenya and many other developing countries. He designed the Community Cooker as a simple, inexpensive machine, easily built and repaired by local communities, with minimal operating expenses. The trash is sorted onto racks, dried, and shoveled down a slide into the burn box- non-combustibles like rubber and glass are set aside, of course-
  Each oven is large enough to bake ten loaves of bread, roast a goat, or fire clay pot http://communitycooker.org/
