The Problem:
Over 92% of Ugandans rely on biomass for cooking, most utilize inefficient technologies
Exposure to indoor emissions leads to over 19,700 deaths each year, mostly children
Women loose productive time while collecting firewood and spend 5 hours daily on cooking
Cooks faster
Awamu Stove starts and cooks faster, requires no tending to fire, thus saves thus saving 40 minutes for each meal prepared
Makes money
Awamu Stove save makes 1.4 kg of charcoal for every average meal, which users sell back to us, thus directly generate income
Reduces tree cutting
Awamu Stove uses a variety of solid biomass fuels including agricultural wastes, therefore reduces three cutting
Reduces indoor emissions
Awamu Stove is 90% smoke-free, and burns CO emissions thereby reducing households' exposure to indoor emissions
Our Impact
