HELP LOCAL WOMEN USE CLEAN ENERGY COOKING STOVES

Summary

This program promotes the use of traditional cooking systems that prevent severe negative effects on health, especially among local women and children, and on the environment. This is a quarterly report of the program for the quarter begging April to June 2025. The program was designed to reduce health hazards among local women and children through the promotion of the use of clean energy cooking stoves among 800 households in Kibuku District, Eastern Uganda. The project secured 30  clean energy cooking stoves and distributed to 15 local women and  trained 3 persons to make cook stoves  in Kibuku District in the quarter.

Achievements:

1. 3 community resource persons were trained in making energy cook stoves
2. 15 hose holds received 2 cook stoves

Challenges

1. The organization is constrained with financial support to facilitate mass production of cook stoves
2. Most of the local women lack adequate capacity to provide local materials
3. There is high expectations from the community ie the free services still exists

Recommendation:

The project is too significant that it reduces contraction of infections caused by use of poor cooking methods. In addition, the project limits excessive cut down of tree for firewood and charcoal. This is therefore a request for partners to support the program.
