Smokeless Village

Environmental Initiative

Creating Healthier Homes Through Cleaner Cooking

In many rural communities, conventional cooking methods can generate significant indoor smoke, affecting air quality within homes and creating an uncomfortable living environment. The Smokeless Village initiative seeks to address these challenges of traditional cooking practices and promote cleaner cooking practices and solutions that can help reduce household smoke.
