Princes Foundation invest in Home Leone

29th October 2017 | Posted in Latest News, Nigel's Blog

We have just received funding from the Prince of Wales’s Princes Foundation to bring a new eco-friendly technology to Sierra Leone.  A group in Kenya have pioneered a community cooker which takes waste and burns at a very high temperature providing heat which was fed to a cooker.

We are going to take the technology and turn the heat in to a timber seasoning plant (In Sierra Leone, all seasoned timber is imported and local timber painted with oil/carbolian).  As part of the “plant” we need a 40ft container.  We are planning to send one from near Luton on 18 November.  This will cost £1400 to buy which we need a few people to sponsor.

We are deeply grateful to the Princes Trust for this big step forward.
