Community benefits
The institutional stoves are developed based on the needs and challenges encountered at educational facilities. The school kitchens provide 1–3 warm meals daily for students and staff, especially at boarding schools. Multiple traditional open fires are used for meal cooking, and the extremely poor indoor air quality it creates increases the risk of respiratory diseases and other health problems for staff and students. The energy-efficient cookstoves significantly save both firewood usage and cooking time. They contribute to cleaner kitchens and better health for the cooks and children.
Environmental benefits
The project’s cookstoves offer financial savings, reduced pressure on forests, improved health and cleanliness, and ease of maintenance. By reducing the amount of firewood needed for cooking, the project also has a positive impact on the environment by decreasing deforestation for wood harvesting, making reforestation projects more effective.
