2 weeks ago by smokelesscookstove_team Early this year, the SCF team travelled to Dediapada, Gujarat to conduct a pilot training programme in making of a 'zero cost smokeless chulah based on Rocket Stove technology'. This training programme was designed for Vasava tribes residing in the villages of Bhogaj and Sakwa was done as a part of long term association of Smokeless Cookstove Foundation with Sparsh Foundation based in Mumbai and Jeevan Tirth Foundation based in Anand, Gujarat. We are soon heading to the same location to conduct an indepth community research to understand our beneficiaries better. Stay tuned to know more. #smokelesscookstovefoundation Photo Credit : @shad___fatima

There is still time to work with nature to build resilience and reduce climate risks at all scales, such as by restoring forests to regulate water flows and sequester carbon and be creating green spaces in cities to help control temperature. But the window of opportunity is closing quickly.' We, at Smokeless Cookstove Foundation work hand in hand with marginalized communities and equip them with solutions for cleaner cooking options.

2 weeks ago by smokelesscookstove_team As per a research article by Manjushree Banerjee published by Observer Research Foundation, India played a prominent role in development of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The SDG 7 ensures access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. One among the three indicators of SDG 7 is to ensure usage of clean cooking fuel to 100% households by 2030. However, the SDG India dashboard indicates that only 43.80% households use clean cooking fuel, i.e., India needs to cover around 56% households in next 11 years. Majority of the households lacking clean cooking fuel are located in rural India. #smokelesscookstove #ngo This

According to experts, there might be time to protect and work with nature to build resilience and reduce climate risks at all scales, but the window is closing. We, at Smokeless Cookstove Foundation work towards reducing pressure on forests for fire wood used for purpose of cooking. Since our chulahs use much less wood than a traditional chulah, it can have a staggering affect through large scale implementation.
