Build awareness about the benefits of improved stoves and explore ways women in the rural areas can become more involved in disseminating improved household energy technologies.

Market development for improved cooking technologies:

We are collaborating with a US based manufacturer who manufactures an award winning improved cook stove for the poor.

Technology standardization for cooking, heating and ventilation:

Bring a high-quality product to market that offers rural and peri-urban families the opportunity to burn wood easily, safely and efficiently.

Indoor air pollution exposure and health monitoring:

Measure the indoor air pollution impact of using the chimney-less rocket stoves by surveying the common cooking practices and devices being used in rural and peri-urban communities in Ghana.
