Stewart Craine

Mission

I have spent two years as a volunteer in Nepal. My work included building micro hydro mini grids and implementing an improved cookstove program. As part of a masters degree, I produced papers measuring the impact of these programs compared to baseline surveys, with reference to Kirk Smith's data. Funding improved cookstove programs via carbon credits is a particular interest.
