About this project

The project seeks to lower greenhouse gas emissions and enhance public health across rural and peri-urban communities in Malawi by distributing energy-efficient Improved Cookstoves (ICS). By replacing traditional, inefficient biomass stoves, the project reduces fuel consumption and indoor air pollution, addressing critical environmental, health, and socio-economic challenges. The project advances several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). Through this initiative, OYU Green aims to support sustainable development by improving air quality, decreasing deforestation, and creating economic opportunities for local communities.
