Food is a basic necessity, the elemental source of life, nourishing and energizing our being. However, a basic necessity like that is a war fought by millions worldwide, every single day.
We decided that we can let it happen no more…Because clean cooking is a prerogative, not a privilege. Even the underprivileged deserve smoke-free nutrition and enough time left for education and other productive work. Even if they are in the remotest of deserts, the trickiest of terrains, or the highest of mountains, we take clean cooking to them.
Nearly 2.3 billion people (1/3 of the global population) cook using open fires or fueled by kerosene, biomass, and coal, which generates harmful household air pollution.
In 2020, household air pollution led to an estimated 3.2 million deaths annually, including over 237,000 deaths among children under five.
The combined impact of ambient and household air pollution results in approximately 6.7 million premature deaths each year.
Traditional stoves produce more than 1 giga tonnes of carbon emission in a year.
Exposure to household air pollution is linked to noncommunicable diseases such as stroke, ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer.
Women and children, often responsible for household chores like cooking and gathering firewood, bear the greatest health burden from the use of polluting fuels and technologies in homes.
Between 2015 and 2020, nearly 10 million hectares of forests were lost per year, a lot of the contribution being from firewood requirement for polluting cooking.
Indoor exposure to air pollutants causes significant health damage worldwide, particularly in developing countries and yet public awareness of indoor air pollution lags behind that of outdoor air pollution.
Clean cooking is a prerogative, not a privilege. Even if they are in the remotest of deserts, the trickiest of terrains, or the highest of mountains, we take clean cooking to them, with two major weapons at our disposal.
Clean cooking has transformative social benefits. It significantly reduces the time women and children spend collecting fuel, allowing more time for education and economic activities. Additionally, clean cooking projects create job opportunities in manufacturing, distribution, and maintenance of cooking technologies.
Success Story: In Kenya, our clean cooking initiative has empowered over 10,000 households, providing women with the opportunity to engage in income-generating activities and attend school.

Find answers to common questions about clean cooking technologies and their benefits.
Primarily, women and children benefit the most as they are often the ones responsible for cooking in many households. Clean cooking reduces their exposure to harmful smoke, improves health, saves time spent collecting fuel, and enhances overall quality of life.
Clean cooking reduces deforestation, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and decreases indoor and outdoor air pollution. It also helps in conserving biodiversity by reducing the reliance on wood and other biomass as fuel sources.
Clean cooking initiatives contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including good health and well-being, gender equality, affordable and clean energy, climate action, and sustainable cities and communities.
Challenges include high initial costs of clean cookstoves, lack of awareness, cultural resistance to change, inadequate infrastructure for distribution, and limited access to clean fuels. Which is why a huge part of our clean cooking initiative is raising awareness and running campaigns, along with the distribution of cookstoves.
Scaling up requires a multi-faceted approach, including increased funding, supportive policies, public-private partnerships, community engagement, and international cooperation. Enhancing market-based solutions and innovative financing mechanisms can also drive widespread adoption.
