Center For Children in Need, Sabine Roper

Abstract

2 Mill. women and children die every year from smoke from cooking fires! That is more than from HIV or Malaria! The smoke causes lung diseases and poisons the body. It is responsible for premature births and infants with a low birth weight. The hay box is a cheap and easy way to stay healthy and to save money at the same time. You live in Europe or America? Your way of cooking with electricity or Propane is very wasteful! Try to use a hay box and you will be less hot and can save money on your electricity or gas bill. The food is delicious because it cooks slowly and will save you a lot of work and time. You can't overcook it and it stays hot and doesn't need to be reheated. Instead of standing in front of your cook stove, you can do something productive, while your food cooks itself. less smell and more hygienic. Bacteria can't grow as the food is still piping hot after several hours. Extremely simple (and cheap) to make.
