The Jompy is designed and patented by David Osborne in Troon, Scotland. It has been very successfully tried and tested in Africa and India, and is now available through Uchumi stores throughout Kenya.
The Jompy is a highly effective water boiler that allows the consumer to carry out two tasks at the same time: boiling water whilst cooking. This unique product (weighing just 600g) can boil 1 litre of water every 45-60 seconds with the water reaching temperatures of up to 86 degrees, drastically reducing the amount of fuel required; as well as providing a means of clean hot water to improve sanitation.
