International Programme for Safe Water Access and Efficient Cookstoves
Gold Standard · GS7591 · Kenya
About this project
This project involves the distribution of improved cook stoves and safe water technologies across several countries. In addition to reducing wood use (for cooking and water boiling), the project is also expected to have additional benefits for local communities such as reduced incidences of illnesses related to indoor air pollution, smoke inhalation and consumption of unsafe drinking water; increased gender equality; improved access to safe water and clean cooking technology; improved employment opportunities; and less time and money spent on fire wood collection.
