About this project

The Voluntary Project Activity aims at reducing the consumption of charcoal as primary cooking fuel in the urban area of Tete. The target of the project is to reach more than 15,000 beneficiaries through the distribution of Mbaula-A cooking stoves which reduce the daily consumption of charcoal thanks to a higher thermal efficiency in respect to the baseline devices used in the area.
