Develatech Internship Program
 
About the company: Develatech is an innovative cookstove design and manufacturing company with strong dedication to provide innovative cooking solutions to serve people in the bottom of pyramid in Kenya.
 
Develatech has re-written the rules of stove design with its new patented technology by introducing ‘Jiko Chap Chap’. 

Disregarding most conventional design concepts this unique model moves the fire further away from the pot and in doing so achieves a faster cooking, cleaner burning stove that is easier to use than conventional designs whilst providing the option of cooking 2 or 3 pots simultaneously from one fire source. 

It is a wood burning stove tailored to suit African styles of cooking, saving 60% wood and reducing harmful emissions by 87% (Nairobi University Sept. 2013). 

The result has been proven in real life situation by another study by Eco Frontier Kenya Ltd
with evidence of over 60% less fuel consumption than the baseline three stone stoves. 

The company was successfully selected as one of the most potential start-ups receiving a grant of USD22,000 from the Climate Innovation Center Kenya to help expand its business. 

So far, Develatech has about 100 clients enjoying the benefits of this unique product.
 
The founder of Develatech, Jonathan Baker has been designing and manufacturing cookstoves for
the last 5 years and is considered an expert in this field.
