Claudio Volonte (Baastel), Florence Nyanjihia (AECF staff), Christine Atego (Sunken CEO), and Justine Miller (Sunken Business Development Manager). Picture was taken at Sunken's office in Nairobi. AECF is providing support to Sunken's work on manufacturing and marketing clean cookstoves, through AECF's Kakuma Kalobeyei Challenge Fund (in support of refugees hosted by the government of Kenya).

The project has improvements in health through air quality, forest protection (reduction of use of wood) and generates employment.
