About this project

This program seeks to improve public health in East Africa. The program will distribute high efficiency cook stoves and point of use water filters to households, addressing several critical public health challenges. Currently, many families in East Africa cook their meals and some boil their drinking water over unimproved stoves utilizing biomass, or often drink untreated water because of a lack of available fuel. Similarly, another leading public health challenge is upper respiratory disease cause in part by indoor air pollution. This program intends to address both of these challenges, while also working towards the United Nations Millennium Development Goal 7.C, providing access to safe drinking water.
