About this project

Wood is the major source of energy for most households in the rural North of Benin , which causes a significant pressure on the local forests around the National Park of Pendjari. This micro-scale VPA project promotes the distribution and use of mud made Wanrou Efficient Cookstoves in villages around the Park Pendjari and aims to replace existing rudimentary stoves and three stone fires. The new efficient cookstoves will be built by the local women themselves based on locally available materials.
