About this project

This Micro-Scale Voluntary Project Activity under the PoA African Improved Cookstoves and Clean Water Programme involves the distribution of domestic fuel-efficient cook stoves to households close to the Makera Natural Forest in Rwanda. The efficient cook stoves are locally produced. They will be distributed for free to users (only material for fixing the stove in the kitchen will be required as in-kind contribution), in exchange for the rights to the Voluntary Emission Reductions (VERs). The majority of families would not otherwise have access to the market for fuel-efficient cook stoves for economic reasons.
