Because shacks in low-income communities are often very close to each other, when a fire breaks out in one home due to a spill from a cheap paraffin stove, the fire can spread quickly to numerous neighboring shacks. Tasos Callantzis, Ferderick Kruger, and Rudi Snyman formed Arivi to develop a product to minimize this danger. They invented a small, efficient individual-use indoor stove with an innovative safety feature, calling it the “Arivi Eva” stove. The Arivi Eva stove burns paraffin wax, a fuel that is widely used in developing countries because it can be purchased in small quantities.
