Ziko Charcoal Stoves

Worldwide there are now hundreds of different types of improved stoves which are used by poor communities because of the widely recognized benefits to their use. Each reflects the particular preferences of the societies in which they are used.

In Zambia an improved stove has been developed to suit local people while offering benefits in terms of fuel and smoke reduction. The Ziko is a portable stove made of reinforced ceramic, it has a liner made of fired clay encased in metal with an insulating material between the inner and outer ‘skin’.

Hydraform Block Making System

The Hydraform system uses portable machines to mould interlocking building blocks, under hydraulic pressure, from subsoil stabilised with cement.

The technology is established in South Africa, the birthplace of Hydraform technology, most African countries and in many countries around the world including India, South America and Australia.
