The project with the Montessori school in Tanzania was a full success as the school is not only solar baking 300 buns per day and saving on the energy bill but they also sale their extra baked production.

Another great project for a school canteen has been installed at Don Bosco Embu school in Kenya.

Several units have been installed at Don Bosco Institution in Kakuma, Kenya, to cook for 120 people.
