The Pot-In-Pot Preservation Cooling System, Part 5

Mohammed's Pot-In-Pot design has had three major effects. First, food quality has greatly improved. The Pot-In-Pot helps stop bad food from making people sick. Vegetables and other food stored in the Pot-In-Pot can be kept fresh for a longer time. Without the Pot-In-Pot, Eggplants last only three days. But with the Pot-In-Pot, they can last up to twenty seven days! Tomatoes and peppers can last almost three weeks! And African spinach usually spoiled after one day. But now it can last almost twelve days.

Second, the Pot-In-Pot invention helps local businesses. Farmers earn money to buy new farming equipment. They do not need to move their families to the city to find jobs. They can stay by their homes. And there are new jobs. Mohammed's Pot-In-Pot design is so wonderful because it uses skills and materials that come from the area of Nigeria. Interest in pot-making is rising.

And finally, The Pot-In-Pot is also a step forward for women of that culture. Food for selling does not need to be sold immediately. So, young girls can attend school instead of selling vegetables in the market. Village schools see more girls every day.

People can already see the influence of the Pot-In-Pot in Nigeria. Mohammed hopes to continue producing the Pot-In-Pot. He hopes that people from other countries can also use it. His invention has influenced the whole state of Jigawa. Life in this community is better.
