Project Overview

Clean Cooking Project

The Clean Cooking Project in Jitpur introduces improved cookstove solutions to households transitioning away from traditional biomass-based cooking. The project focuses on reducing smoke emissions, improving fuel efficiency, and enhancing everyday cooking conditions.

By replacing traditional stoves with cleaner alternatives, the initiative reduces indoor air pollution, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and supports healthier, more sustainable household energy use.
