About this project

This project will involve the distribution of improved cook stoves into rural areas of the Musanze District, Rwanda. In addition to reducing deforestation through less wood use, the project is also expected to have additional benefits for local communities, such as reduced incidences of illnesses related to indoor air pollution and smoke inhalation, improved employment opportunities, and less time and money spent on fire wood collection.
