Martin Gicheru and Irene Munga created a smart jiko dubbed Wiltmart Energy-saving Jiko, which is turning up the heat in kitchens across the country

What does your company deal in?
Our company mainly focuses on environmental conservation by reducing fuel consumption. We make renewable energy resources by use of natural resources.

How did you come up with the idea of converting soil into money?
The idea was first born when we both lost our jobs. Life became tough and all we could think was to venture into a business that would require less capital. At the same time, we wanted something unique to avoid competition. We decided to try bio digester but it didn’t work out for us. It’s from there that the idea of energy saving jiko poped in.
