Fenik

The Fenik cooler uses sophisticated engineering on a simple concept of evaporation to increase the shelf-life of perishables. The six litre (6L) capacity cooler is entirely off the grid, relying exclusively on water for functioning.

This innovative idea based on a simple measure to improve small-scale cold chains is a first for Malawi and will provide a new opportunity to turn increased shelf-life directly and indirectly into increased income for families (both from preserving homegrown food rather than purchasing as well as providing longer time for selling surplus) as well as increase the availability of nutritious food.
