This project focuses on transforming the daily lives of rural communities in Papua New Guinea by introducing clean cookstoves. The initiative aims to replace traditional cooking methods that rely on firewood and other biomass with environmentally friendly and efficient cookstoves. By doing so, it targets to reduce indoor air pollution, improve health outcomes, and decrease the time and labor traditionally spent on gathering firewood.

The transition to clean cookstoves represents a blend of tradition and innovation, offering rural communities in Papua New Guinea a sustainable alternative to their cooking practices. These stoves are designed with local cultures and needs in mind, ensuring they are both effective and acceptable to the users. This project emphasizes the importance of community involvement and sustainable design, envisioning a future where clean cookstoves are an integral part of daily life, contributing to the overall development and environmental conservation of the region.

Traditional cooking methods in rural Papua New Guinea often involve open fires or inefficient stoves burning biomass fuels, leading to indoor air pollution that poses significant health risks. This project aims to introduce clean cookstoves that significantly reduce harmful emissions, improving respiratory health and overall wellbeing. By adopting these clean cookstoves, communities can experience a notable decrease in diseases associated with smoke inhalation. The environmental benefits are equally important, as these stoves use less wood, helping to preserve forests and reduce carbon emissions.
