Traditional cooking methods on open fires consume large quantities of wood, produce much smoke hazardous to health, are inefficient and time consuming and a great burden on women and girls. It is estimated that 90% of Malawian households cook this way and deforestation rates are unsustainable.

The stoves that we build use 65% less firewood compared to traditional cooking methods. They are smokeless and much more efficient enabling women to cook faster. We have our own team of stove builders and have built these stoves in over 50 villages. The impact is transforming for the lives of women and girls.
