Our Focus
We are presently working on an advocacy campaign in the rural areas where they use fire wood as source of energy. Instead we want to encourage them to plant more trees and embrace solar stoves.
Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas
The greatest barrier is that most of the people in the rural areas have been used to the act of cooking with firewood. It will take a lot of time to persuade some of them to switch to clean and alternative sources because of the cost of the alternatives sources.
We are looking for partners that can take advantages of the market and bring in cheaper solar stoves or even stoves that can work using briquettes.
We would be glad to accept any assistance or technology that can standardize our efforts, especially for cooking, which will save a lots of trees from being cut down for cooking needs.
We have other partners locally who help in monitoring the exposure to pollution and the health implications in the rural areas, but more still needs to be done through capacity building.
