Our latest task as part of the Jua Kali project has been to engage with the user centered design tools we have learnt, to find a way to promote the briquette burners to their intended users; the Jua Kali Community. We started by creating profiles for Jua Kali members, by reading an information pack we create characters of possible Jua Kali members and imagine a day in the life of our character.
After creating a number of profiles for a range of potential briquette users we had to brainstorm ways in which we could promote briquette burners to the appropriate people. With my group Kieron-Scott Woodhouse and Dwayne Lecky we decided to use the idea of a food festival to promote briquette use. By showing people how they would use the burners and allowing them to see the results; to taste the food cooked on them, we hope that it will convince some people to switch their coal burners for briquette burners. We used our design hacking skills to create images of the vehicles we would imagine would be used to travel around Nairobi cooking on the briquette burners. 
The first vehicle was put together using parts of a bicycle and wheelbarrow, the second was using a local bus to house the cooking equipment for children, like those library buses that used to drive round to schools in the UK a few years ago. By hacking existing vehicles which are available to the community in Nairobi it made it a viable scheme. We also designed some posters which would be displayed on the vehicles to promote briquettes, get people involved and advertise the food festival at the end.
