Clean Cooking Solution for Schools
A safer, cleaner, and more dignified way for students to learn and thrive
Across Rwanda, many schools still rely on traditional cooking methods—usually large wood-fired stoves in poorly ventilated kitchens. While these methods are familiar, the reality is that they create several challenges every day:
The Pain Points Schools Are Facing
- High firewood costs: Firewood remains a major budget burden for schools, reducing funds available for learning materials and student welfare.
- Deforestation pressure: Continued firewood demand contributes to the depletion of Rwanda’s natural resources.
- Health and safety risks: Smoke-filled kitchens expose cooks and supporting staff to respiratory problems, eye irritation, and unsafe working conditions.
- Inefficient cooking times: Traditional stoves take longer to heat, slowing down meal preparation for large student populations.
- Unreliable energy use: Many schools lack modern energy systems that can reduce daily operational stress and improve predictability of cooking schedules.
A Modern, Clean Cooking Solution for Schools
Solektra works with schools to help them transition from traditional cooking to clean, electric cooking systems powered by modern energy—often supported by solar solutions where appropriate.
Our school clean-cooking package includes:
High-efficiency electric cookers & induction systems
They heat faster, use less energy, and drastically reduce smoke and indoor pollution.
Optional solar energy integration
Where feasible, schools can combine electric cooking with solar power to further reduce operational costs.
Training for kitchen staff
We provide hands-on training for safe use, maintenance, and energy-efficient cooking practices.
Ongoing support
Solektra does not simply install equipment—we walk with the school to ensure long-term success, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
Why Solektra?
We don’t claim to have all the solutions. We are simply a Rwandan company trying to play a small role in helping schools operate more safely, more efficiently, and with lower long-term costs. Our experience in energy access across Rwanda—both in urban areas and remote communities—has shown us that clean cooking can transform daily school operations in ways that are visible and meaningful.
Our commitment is simple:
➡️ Listen to each school’s needs
➡️ Design a solution that fits their budget and environment
➡️ Support them before, during, and after installation
We believe progress happens when everyone contributes what they can. For us, that contribution is helping schools adopt safer, cleaner, and more modern cooking systems.
