    Over the past few years, he has thrilled the local community with solar powered cooking pots, fuel efficient large scale cooking solutions, multipurpose grinding mills made from scrap metal, multi-purpose filters.

    His motivation comes from the fact that he lives in a poverty stricken community, where access to clean water is a daily problem. The mostly farming community has benefited from his inventions for easy transformation of their produce for better storage and marketing.
