Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Trained locals will train others and due to efficiency of the stoves they pay for themselves within a relatively short time. With the 40 there to demonstrate this, they will quickly become the norm. This will have huge health impacts for the kids.
Project Message
The people want to use less wood to cook though cannot afford the stoves so they are in a lose-lose cycle, they either cut down more trees or buy more wood to cook in an unhealthy, uneconomic manner.
