Abstract
An important requirement for healthy living is a kitchen which gives residents the ability to hygienically store, prepare and cook food. Food preparation, storage and cooking areas should also be easy to clean, otherwise maintaining hygienic conditions will become a burdensome or impossible task. A kitchen which does not function properly leads to poor nutrition, discomfort, stress and ill health for the inhabitants. Currently it is impossible to store, cook and prepare food and store and clean utensils in an hygienic and healthy manner in many houses in Indigenous communities.
