Clean Cookstoves & Briquettes

Most households in Kendu Bay rely on charcoal and firewood for cooking — driving deforestation, high fuel costs, and indoor air pollution that causes respiratory and eye problems, especially for women and children.

Climate-friendly cookstoves (jikos) and briquettes offer a locally appropriate, low-cost, and scalable solution — addressing clean energy access, climate mitigation, and household health in one intervention, while creating income opportunities for the widows who make and sell them.
