For much of the world鈥檚 population, gathering fuel to cook food is a dangerous proposition, and smoke from cookstoves poses a serious health threat. A more efficient and clean wood-burning cookstove 鈥� developed by the Vashon Island-based non-profit in close collaboration with 天美影视传媒 mechanical engineers 鈥� will reduce the amount of fuel families need to collect or buy by 55 percent. It will also reduce the exposure of these women and children to the harmful particulate pollution produced by traditional cooking flames.
The new wood-burning cookstove will be manufactured in factory in Nairobi, Kenya beginning this summer 鈥� thanks to a recent $800,000 investment from Unilever and 鈥� and sold across East Africa.
