ETG Live Better Improved Cookstove
Gold Standard · GS13189 · Zambia
About this project
The ETG Clean Cookstove Project dubbed “Nolofaza Bupilo” (Live Better) is an intervention of ETG that aims to distribute 15,000 improved wood cookstoves to rural households in Western province -Zambia. The purpose of the project is to undertake extensive distribution program to provide subsidized Improved cookstoves (ICS) that use less fuel, emit fewer harmful pollutants, and are safer to use than traditional open fire stoves. This programme will; - Contribute to reduction of greenhouse gases helping to counter global climate change. -Reduce exposure to harmful and toxic smoke due to the use of traditional stoves for cooking and in turn contribute to good health for communities. -Decrease the involved time and money spent by communities on firewood collection and purchase. The distributed stoves use less firewood and are more efficient.
