The inflatable Balloon Solar Cooker was designed by Mr. Toshi Omhura, one of the founders of Solar Cooker Japan (SCJ). SCJ's current goals are to promote the planting of the Jatropha trees while also promoting solar cooking using this cooker. Mr. Kazimito was in Nairobi, Kenya recently, holding preliminary discussions with Solar Cookers International East Africa Office Director Margaret Owino about a partnership. A team from SCJ later followed with the prototype cookers for field tests in Kenya. SCI (EA) welcomes this new development and will conduct field tests on the new cookers on behalf of SCJ. Their goal is to enable in-country production of the same cookers, should they pass the field test.
