UN Sustainability Development Goal 6 focuses on providing clean water and sanitation for all, a problem that is particularly apparent in Sub-Saharan Africa. With the aim of working towards this goal, Kenya was chosen as the target region to develop a solution for. We have proposed a design for a dual-mode insulated kettle with an integrated filtration system. The aim of this design is to provide boiling water for cleaning, drinking and cooking, whilst also providing a means for sterilising water. By having a secondary mode that only heats the water to 70°C, energy is saved when the user does not require boiling water. Insulation also increases efficiency but also reduces frequency of boiling by keeping water warm for longer. Using an electric appliance to boil water, rather than the traditional 3-stone-fire, lowers carbon emissions through reduced biomass combustion, as well as offering health benefits from less exposure to fumes.
