About this project

The cookstove project will take place in the rural regions of Louga and Saint Louis in northern Senegal, where the populations are vulnerable to climate change effects and to the scarcity of natural resources on which they rely to live. The aim of the project is to build 80,000 improved cookstoves with 40,000 households in four years, in more than 280 villages of northern Senegal. The cookstoves will be made locally by the women themselves, who will be trained to build the stoves from locally-sourced materials (clay, straw, cow dung and water). This very affordable model of self-made stove is particularly adapted to the socio-economic context of north Senegal. The main objective of this project is to contribute to reducing the pressure on this fragile Sahelian ecosystem by protecting the remaining trees and by reducing the physical and economical constraints on women and rural households.
