Clean Energy

Empowering Communities with Sustainable Cooking Solutions and Green Livelihoods

We Promote Clean Energy Through Eco-Friendly Cookstoves

We focus on accelerating the transition to clean energy at the household level by distributing eco-friendly cookstoves and equipping local communities with the skills and knowledge to adopt, use, and produce these stoves for income generation. It addresses the urgent need to reduce indoor air pollution, deforestation, and carbon emissions—while also creating sustainable livelihood opportunities, particularly for women and youth.

Key Activities
Community Needs Assessment
We conduct baseline surveys and focus group discussions to understand local cooking practices, fuel usage, health concerns, and willingness to adopt clean cookstoves. This ensures the cookstove design and outreach strategy are culturally appropriate and effective.
Procurement and Distribution of Eco-Friendly Cookstoves
We source and manufacture energy-efficient, low-emission cookstoves suited to local cooking styles. Distribute them to targeted households—prioritizing women, low-income families, and communities in deforested or high-risk health areas.
Cookstove Use and Maintenance Training
We provide practical training sessions for users on how to properly operate and maintain their new cookstoves for maximum efficiency and durability. We distribute usage guides in local languages.
Advocacy and Policy Engagement
We collaborate with local governments and environmental bodies to advocate for clean cooking policies, subsidies, or incentives that support wider adoption and integration of eco-friendly cookstoves in development plans.
