We are working to
improve efficiency, safety and healthiness of domestic
wood energy use, in urban & rural households
dependant on wood fires for cooking. We promote the use
of affordable, locally produced stoves that use less
wood, cook more quickly and make less smoke than open
fires.

The stoves
expose users to less heat and smoke than available
alternatives, reducing burns, skin, eye and lung
problems.
|

We teach
local potters how to manufacture the stoves, boosting
their income generation, >400 have been distributed,
in four provinces - sold to those with means, subsidised
or free to those unable to pay.
