We empower poor subsistence farmers, where the ability to cook food is a huge problem. Electricity is expensive & unreliable; charcoal has led to extensive deforestation and traditional cooking methods use large tree trunks. C19 has hugely impacted already poverty-stricken rural Zambia, driving up inflation and ending income from visitors and volunteers from overseas. We promote growing and efficient use of firewood as a source of renewable energy for cooking to reduce poverty & deforestation.
