Overview Contributors

Challenge

Around 3 billion people worldwide lack access to clean cooking solutions. Traditional mud stoves or open fires pose significant health risks to users, primarily women, and their children due to inhalation of harmful fumes. High LPG costs and limited electricity access force dependence on biomass-powered cookstoves.

Description

Addressing the inefficiency of traditional stoves, transitional cooking solutions that offer health and environmental benefits are crucial. Greenway cookstoves reduce smoke emissions significantly and improve fuel efficiency, providing a cleaner alternative to open fires and traditional methods.

SDGs

Outcomes

Reduced wood fuel usage by 65%, decreased smoke emissions by 70%, improved health and environmental conditions for users.
