How Our Improved Cook Stoves Are Making A Positive Impact in Rwanda
- Details
Since 2017, we at Rural Development Inter-diocesan Service (RDIS) have distributed 6,379 improved cook stoves to households in Rwanda during our first phase of our Carbon project, nicknamed CCER-1. These stoves use only 30% of the firewood compared to traditional stoves, which means families are saving on fuel costs. Plus, they cook food faster and more efficiently, making meal preparation more convenient for families.
Our stoves are not only efficient but affordable as well. We distribute them for free and only ask beneficiaries to make a small contribution for installation materials such as sand, stones and clay soil. This ensures that households of all income levels can access our stoves.
