The document describes a proposed solution to issues with sanitation, overcrowding, and rubbish in Kibera, Kenya's largest slum. The solution is called the Community Cooker, invented by architect Jim Archer. It would allow residents to trade rubbish for the ability to cook, boil water, and use showers and toilets at no cost. This would improve sanitation and health while also providing an incentive to collect rubbish and employment opportunities for maintaining the Community Cooker. The design includes sorting racks, a cooker, water storage, bio-latrines, and a rubbish chute to a firebox.
