Fuel Efficient Stoves
Fuel-efficient Stoves: Most rural Rwandans cook over wood-burning or charcoal stoves that are inefficient and dangerous. The smoke from wood burning stoves is linked to respiratory illnesses and the wood used in the stoves contributes to environmental degradation. Fuel-efficient stoves reduce the families’ expenditure of time, energy and money, protect health, and add flexibility. An added bonus, the artisans share, is happy husbands- the stove comes with a thermal pot which not only improves fuel efficiency but keeps food hot for hours.
