Dissemination of improved stoves (Mogogo) in the Eritrean highlands
Gold Standard · GS748 · Eritrea
About this project
The objective of this project is to promote the livelihood of village dwellers and reduce wood fuel demand by providing improved traditional stoves for cooking (Mogogo) to people in the Debub Zone in Eritrea. The dissemination of smokeless stoves improves the health of women and children by avoiding inhalation of smoke and smoke induced eye irritation. Moreover, efficient stoves substantially reduce the demand for wood fuel, which in turn decreases environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions.
