About this project

The project’s aim is to distribute improved cookstoves in Uganda. This project will use improved cookstove- Berkeley-Darfur Stove (BDS) to replace three stone fire or low-efficiency cookstoves in peri-urban areas around Kampala, Northern, Western, Eastern and West Nile Regions of Uganda. BDS is a biomass burning, high- efficiency rocket-style cookstove. It uses less fuel and emits less smoke as compared to open fire cooking. It also enables users to cook at double speed. It has a stable base so that the stove will not tip over, and wooden handles that stay cool.
