Charlot Magayi from Kenya

View descriptionShare
This eposide features Charlot Magayi, born and raised in Mukuru - one of the biggest slums in Nairobi Kenya. She grew up in a community where cooking with a lot of fuel was a norm. But when she and her own child started getting sick from the fumes that were emited by the regular stove, she took it upon herself to improve her life, while at the same time improving the lives of all underpriviledged people in Africa.
She put herself through college and used her skills to create a stove that would use less fuel, emit less fumes and reduce the likelihood of getting burnt. Having dropped out of school at 16, it took a lot of commitment and determination to even start on a journey to save the world. Mukuru Stoves have become internationally known and Charlot has won awards for her environmental awarenes. Change can come from the most humble of beginings, but strength comes from some of the harshest. Charlot has made it through both and come out on top.
