In countless homes across Kenya, the familiar scent of cooking often comes with a hidden cost: the smoke and fumes from traditional cooking methods. For generations, families have relied on open fires and inefficient charcoal or wood-burning stoves, a practice deeply ingrained in our culture. However, beneath the surface of these time-honored traditions lies a serious threat to the health and well-being of our loved ones, particularly women and children who spend hours in smoke-filled kitchens. From respiratory illnesses to eye irritations and even long-term health complications, the impact of household air pollution is a silent burden on millions of Kenyan families.

But what if there was a simple yet revolutionary way to transform our kitchens into healthier, happier spaces? Enter clean cooking stoves – a modern solution that is rapidly gaining traction and offering a beacon of hope for a brighter future. These innovative stoves are designed to burn fuel more efficiently and produce significantly less smoke and harmful emissions, directly addressing the health hazards associated with traditional cooking. Beyond the immediate health benefits, adopting clean cooking stoves offers a cascade of advantages, from saving money on fuel to reducing deforestation and giving families, especially women and girls, precious time back in their day.
