About this project

The project's primary objective is to enhance the well-being and livelihoods of rural and tribal communities in the project area by providing them with improved cookstoves. Additionally, the project activity has provided employment opportunities and awareness of both climate change and the negative impact of GHG emissions. This community-engagement initiative aims to introduce rural and tribal households about clean cooking practices, with the goal of reducing indoor air pollution caused by traditional stoves. By doing so, the project seeks to mitigate health risks and improve the well-being of these communities.
