One of the instructions of the government of the sixth phase is to abandon the use of dirty energy such as wood and natural charcoal for cooking and use clean and safe energy such as gas and electricity.
The government of the sixth phase has planned to ensure that various institutions and schools use clean energy. In order to implement this, the Hasnuu Makame Secondary School, located in the Southern region of Unguja Islands in Zanzibar, has begun to implement the order in practice and now its students are enjoying food cooked using clean energy.
The Principal of the school, Mr. Mohammed Ally says that the use of firewood in the school was costing a large amount of money and affecting the conduct of studies for students. Ally
He added that when the school was established, it had 110 students, it used to spend 650,000 shillings per month to buy firewood, now the school has 471 students and spends 778,600 shillings for two months to buy gas. The number of students at the moment if they used wood the costs would be higher.
Mr. Ally says other costs that have been saved are the costs of regular stove repairs resulting from smoke damage as well as the costs of buying milk for the Cooks.
