Gold Standard Certified Project
About this project
This Gold Standard small scale project will involve the free distribution of efficient wood stoves to households in Shimba Hills; Maungu; Kasigau; Kwale Village; Golini Village, Kenya. In the absence of this project householders would cook primarily using traditional inefficient 3 stone fires. This project will employ “rocket" stove technology, based on a permanent construction of bricks & mortar, for improved fuel efficiency.
