Introducing Africa's first stainless steel stove | Arnold Nyendwa | TEDxLusaka

When he was just 18 years old, Arnold Nyendwa wanted to help his family cope with a nationwide electricity crisis that resulted in months of rotational load shedding. Using scrap metal sheets from an abandoned school locker, Arnold built a device that would become Africa's first stainless steel stove, capable of using LP gas, electricity and solid fuel. The stove is designed to be easily assembled and disassembled with just 12 bolts. In this talk, Arnold explains how his invention was possible and why other young people in Africa can do the same. Arnold Nyendwa is an entrepreneur and inventor who pioneered the first stainless steel stove in Africa. Inspired by personal and family experience in Zambia, the invention aims to reduce the adverse effects of charcoal and wood stoves and addresses the lack of electricity supply in a cost-effective manner. Arnold's invention has won him multiple awards all over the world. Based in Lusaka, Zambia, Arnold is the CEO and Co-founder of Venturas Jumpstart. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
