GTZ gives to HIV patients

New Vision (Kampala) - December 17, 2005


THE German Development Cooperation (GTZ) has donated 600 Rocket Lorena stoves worth sh14m to people living with HIV/AIDS, reports Fred Ouma.

The stoves, made of clay, cement and sand, are an improved version with high heat retention and produce less smoke. The stoves can use either firewood or charcoal.

GTZ, through the Energy Advisory Project in the energy ministry, handed over the stoves to beneficiaries at various TASO centres at Mulago, Mbale, Jinja, Entebbe and Mildmay.
