Project Needs and Beneficiaries

In Onura –sub village 100% of the population depends on firewood for cooking. The family of 8 people would burn 500 small trees per year. This is useless way of using the energy. The clay stove has many advantages. First, they use one third of fire wood reducing annual usage of a family to 200 trees per year. Secondly, they produce less smoke which has a major health benefit. Thirdly, they cook quicker, and finally are portable. This project has a huge benefit for environment.
