About 4 billion people in the world do not have access to modern energy-efficient cooking facilities. They still cook on traditional biomass or other polluting fuels. By switching to clean cooking solutions, there will be less smoke emissions in kitchens and less biomass required.
The project will help 200 women make briquettes from agricultural and household waste. The briquettes are a good alternative to charcoal and firewood and helps reduce deforestation and climate change. Selling briquettes also provides an additional source of income for 200 women and their families who will be trained by the project.
