This project distributes 15,000 improved cookstoves to households cooking with firewood on traditional three-stone cookstoves. In this area of Nepal, villages are nestled in hard-to-access regions and significantly impacted by poverty. The project’s improved cookstove works on all solid biomass fuels and significantly reduces fuelwood consumption and related carbon emissions. Improved cookstoves are cleaner, more efficient, safer, and more acceptable to users than traditional cooking methods.
