Green Earth Sauki Nigeria Cookstove Project
The Green Earth Sauki Cookstove Nigeria Project aims to revolutionise household cooking with 326,000 locally made, energy-efficient stoves. By cutting greenhouse gas emissions and reducing pressure on forests, the initiative also enhances the daily lives of thousands of families.

Community benefits
The project aims to directly benefit ouseholds across North Central Nigeria, beginning with Nasarawa State and Niger State. Families will experience reduced fuel costs, shorter cooking times, and healthier living conditions due to lower indoor smoke exposure. This has significant implications for respiratory health, especially for women and children who are most exposed to kitchen smoke.
Beyond improved health outcomes, households save time otherwise spent collecting firewood. This allows greater focus on education, economic activities, and family wellbeing. Community training programmes by our implementation partner, Roshan Renewable Technologies, ensure households know how to use and maintain the stoves for long-term benefits.
Environmental benefits
The deployment of efficient cookstoves will reduce household demand for firewood, helping to combat deforestation in targeted states. Lower wood consumption directly protects surrounding ecosystems, water catchment areas, and biodiversity.
Climate benefits are also significant. By reducing reliance on inefficient traditional cooking, the project avoids carbon emissions while also cutting black carbon, a short-lived but highly potent climate pollutant. This dual impact helps Nigeria progress towards its national climate commitments.
