Clean Cook Stoves, Nationwide, Uganda
Making it easier for people to eat and live healthily is at the heart of Franklin Lade. We’re incredibly proud to work with ClimatePartner to support climate projects with a positive social impact. This project brings a healthier and more energy-efficient way of cooking to households in Uganda.
Over 35,000 cookstoves have been provided to homes and small businesses in Uganda, reducing CO2 emissions by about 119,840 tonnes per year. The biomass cookstoves replace the need for families to cook over open fires indoors. The stoves also use significantly less fuel, which reduces carbon emissions and air pollution - so the communities benefit from cleaner air and improved health.
The Clean Cook Stoves project also significantly mitigates the day-to-day risks faced by women and girls in the region, who bear the primary responsibility for cooking.
