This project distributes high-efficiency stoves to needy families with children at La Espero kindergarten and the surrounding community made up of Rumonge returnees. The stoves have improved combustion, reducing air pollution in homes and its negative health effects. The stoves also require less firewood, which protects forests, makes the tedious work of collecting wood easier and reduces CO₂ emissions.
Many of the families use inefficient cooking systems. These traditional cooking systems consume a large amount of fuel and produce a lot of smoke, which can lead to harmful effects on the health of children and women.
