It owns a production facility comprising of a permanent building serving as a workshop and warehouse in North Kinangop, about 110km from Nairobi. The facility is on a ½ acre piece of property. The business was registered as a for profit company at the Office of the Attorney General in February 2012.

Wisdom Innovations has managed to manufacture and sell over 850 cookstoves so far. |

The company is entirely committed on long term basis to the GACC’s Strategy for Universal Adoption of Clean Cookstoves and Fuels.
