About this project

This Micro-Scale Voluntary Project Activity in Wema (formerly Weseges and Maji Tamu Locations) Area Development Programme (ADP), Nakuru County, Kenya, seeks to remove market barriers to the adoption of sustainable energy technologies by households in Wema through the promotion of fuel efficient cook stoves. The majority of families in Wema do not have access to fuel-efficient cook stoves due to financial and access barriers. Co2balance acting as a carbon consultant for World Vision, aim to promote efficient cookstoves in Wema ADP using established micro finance institutions which will make the stoves affordable to the most vulnerable community members.In addition to reducing the usage of biomass, and thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the distribution of fuel-efficient cook stoves will also lessen the amount of harmful smoke and indoor air pollution currently associated with traditional three-stone fires. This will result in a decrease in the incidences of negative health impacts, such as respiratory diseases, amongst rural households
