At a glance, Jikos<\/em> is an energy-saving, low-cost and low-maintenance cookstove found in most homes near the Kamatira forest in the town of Chepareria, West Pokot in Kenya. It makes sense for most families to house Jikos<\/em> in their kitchen \u2014 it works like an oven, a heater, a cookstove, and an incubator for baby chicks. Many are aware that the invention of Jikos<\/em> was out of necessity for the women in the Kamatira region. Most women have turned to poultry farming and running tree nurseries as a means to earn their economic freedom and decision-making power in the household. So, a Jikos<\/em> provides them with a space to incubate the baby chicks so that they don’t lose them. This is why most Jikos<\/em> are handmade by the women in the community as a team as per their needs. In a way, each Jikos <\/em>is a labour of love and camaraderie. Let’s look at the step-by-step process of making a Jikos<\/em> as shown in the pictures below.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Most raw material needed to create Jikos<\/em> is the mud readily available around their home. The women dig up as much as they would need to create a fully-functioning Jikos<\/em>.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Next, the women mix the mud with water and knead it with their feet to make it soft and malleable.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The mud is then rolled up in medium-sized balls.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

These mud balls are then transported to the location of the Jikos<\/em> to be used.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bricks are used to create the foundation for the Jikos<\/em>.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The foundational bricks are covered with the soft and malleable mud that they had kneaded before.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The bricks are covered with steel wire and mud to create ventilation pockets for areas to use as incubator zones for the baby chicks.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Wooden planks are placed on top to create the cookstove area.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The wooden planks are then covered with a thick blanket with another layer of mud on top to disperse and retain heat evenly.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The cooking area is then prepared by measuring the size of the utensils. A steel drum is also placed beside it to create an oven or a heating space for food.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The bricks and the steel drum are covered with an outer layer of mud.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Finally, the exterior is smoothened with water as the last finishing touch.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The freshly made Jikos<\/em> is then left to dry for at least 3 days before it can be used. It takes about 2 hours and multiple helping hands to create the cookstove. In one day, the women can build about 4-5 Jikos<\/em>. Above is a picture of a functioning Jikos<\/em>.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The customisation aspect of Jikos<\/em> is what gives flexibility to the designs as per the needs of the households. The above shown Jikos<\/em> does not have an incubation area for baby chicks.<\/h3>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The area right above the Jikos<\/em> is also used as a ‘seed bank’ where corn\/maize and other vegetables are dried and stored to be replanted in the appropriate season.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
