One of the world’s worst problems is one of the easiest to help solve — and you can help.
Inefficient stove technologies contribute to deforestation and forest degradation, unsafe conditions in the home, soil erosion, and contribute to the death of 2 million infants each year due to indoor wood-smoke inhalation. Besides that, reduced need for biomass reduces allows women to dedicate their time to other activities as childcare and income generation.
The New Hestian Project’s improved cookstoves and fuel efficiency projects in Southern Africa directly reduce indoor cooking smoke – one of the leading causes of acute respiratory infections and the top killer of young children worldwide.
