Improved Chulhas help Indian women and reduce need for firewood
On an average rural women in India have to travel upto 10 kilometres in search of firewood, and carry bundles weighing upto 35 kilos. In addition, the exposure to smoke from the firewood causes serious health hazards to women. The need to find fuel efficient and clean cooking devices resulted in the development of the Improved Chulha. The Improved Chulhas programme has now installed nearly 16 million improved stoves all over India.
