The Tonembee Association is helping developing communities in need. As of July 2024, more than 4,500 CooKit solar cookers have been distributed to families in Kithuia Village, Kenya.
The area is in the midst of the worst drought, famine, and deforestation in recorded history. Additionally, Tonembee sent 16 village teenagers to high school and one has gone on to university for the first time ever.
