Translation of the video texts into English: HEALTHY KITCHEN: Clearing the air in African schools In Africa, school meals are vital to children's health and their ability to learn effectively. In many contexts, these meals are the main source of balanced nutrition for children. Of the thousands of primary schools in Tanzania, more than 90% rely on firewood to cook meals for staff and pupils. This amounts to an annual consumption of more than 1 million metric tonnes of fuelwood in Tanzania, contributing substantially to the country's deforestation. Firewood is often burned in large cauldrons to cook rice, beans, ugali and other traditional foods that can take a long time to cook. The burning of firewood creates a toxic smoke environment in the kitchens of schools and education centres, which is inhaled by the cooks, but also by pupils and teachers, as air pollution permeates school spaces,including canteens, classrooms and playgrounds and other common areas. KABANGA KITCHEN: habitability for a hygienic kitchen. The kitchen of the Kabanga school centre is a clear example of what we have just explained and represents the reality faced by all schools when it comes to cooking. A hygienic and sanitary kitchen for the Kabanga school is essential to protect health. and improve the well-being of all the children and people who live and work here. It not only prevents food-borne diseases, but also contributes to improved nutrition, promotes long-term safe eating practices and has an impact on children's school performance. The kitchen of the Kabanga school centre provides 3 meals a day to its boarders (around 200 people including students, teachers and staff), which translates into 600 meals per day, or more than 200,000 meals per year. The Tanzanian government has announced that 31 January 2025 will be the deadline for institutions to stop using fuelwood will be the deadline for institutions to stop using firewood or charcoal for cooking in order to save the environment. KARIBIA's project for the integral rehabilitation of the Kabanga school centre's kitchen aims to promote the right to health of all its residents with a "clean cooking", guaranteeing food safety and minimising the risk of continuous exposure to fumes from fossil fuel combustion.

Después del paro escolar vacacional, empezamos la ultima parte de la primera fase de este proyecto cuyo objetivo era terminar y hacer habitable el nuevo módulo dormitorio para 80 niños del centro Kabanga. Este último tramo consistente en la pintura de todo el edificio y completar los aseos y su conexión a la red de agua ha sido posible gracias a recursos propios obtenidos de aportaciones individuales y de los socios. A día de hoy, el interior y exterior del centro ya está todo terminado y el servicio de agua funcionando y solo queda algún retoque de pintura y limpiar y despejar todo por dentro. ________________________________________________________________ After the school holiday break, last week we started the last part of the first phase of this project whose aim was to finish and make habitable the new dormitory module for 80 children of the Kabanga centre. This last part, which consisted of painting the whole building and completing the toilets and connecting them to the water supply, was made possible thanks to our own resources obtained from individual contributions and those of our members. As of today, the interior of the centre and the façade are all finished and the water service is working, and the only thing left to do is to touch up the paint and clean and clear everything inside.
