Cookstoves - Nigeria
Today, many households and small businesses in Nigeria rely on inefficient charcoal stoves, leading to high fuel consumption, increased emissions, and health risks. By distributing energy-efficient cookstoves, the project reduces fuel consumption by up to 50%, lowering CO₂ emissions, improving health, and providing economic savings for thousands of families.
