Helping the people of Darfur AND protecting the environment through reducing the amount of wood needed to cook by 75%.
The shortage of wood in Darfur has become so severe that women have to spend their entire day searching for it. The risk to these women of rape and other forms of assault during wood collection has been well documented.
The use of wood as a fuel source has also had a devastating effect on the local environment, which has, in turn, contributed to the phenomenon of global warming.
This project run by the International Lifeline Fund, trains and supports women in Darfur in the construction of insulted rocket stoves.
