Fuel Efficient Stove Builder Training
A project from Kyetume Community Based Health Care Programme in Kyetume, Uganda
CCA’s will be trained on how to construct the rocket-lorena stove (only local materials are used, the stove reduces the amount of firewood and smoke the women and children are exposed to) in which they will build in their own communities.

About this project
S. Ocwieja from Kyetume Community Based Health Care Programme is responsible for this project
These trainings will teach 80 Community Change Agents in the techniques of building a fuel efficient stove with all local materials. Each stove reduces the amount of firewood used and the amount of smoke women and children are exposed to. After the training the builders will go into their communities and construct these stoves at households that show interest. As one stove is built, families from around are able to see how it works and then are able to ask for their own.
In February Kyetume CBHC with the partnership of Youth Association for Rural Development (YARD) programme held a training for the CCA’s of Kyetume CBHC. 50 CCA’s where trained on how to construct the rocket-lorena stove. These CCA’s have started to construct these stoves in their own houses and communities. Because of the success of this training, we here at Kyetume CBHC would like to hold two more which would train the remaining 80 CCA’s of our organization again with the partnership of YARD.
Two trainings will be held and the budget will be broken up for the respected areas. The training that will take place in Ntenjeru will train 50 CCA’s and the training in Seeta Nazigo will train 30 CCA’s. Groups of 5-10 CCA’s will go to a household where a facilitator will train them. For the stove, all local materials are used; red clay, grass, bricks, and a banana stem (if the family can not afford the bricks then they do not have to be used).
At the end of each month the CCA’s meet and report on our palliative care programme in which they are an important part, but after this training a section will be added to their report and meeting to discuss the number of stoves built and issues that have arose. The initially requirements for the CCA’s will be for them to build one stove at a household a month; (they will be able to work together if desired). If this initial requirement is met then over a hundred stoves will be built each month in the coverage area of Kyetume CBHC.
