Clean energy

We use carbon offset funding from our volunteers to provide fuel-efficient and solar stoves to communities in the Andavadoaka region. Traditionally, villages rely upon open wood fires for cooking. These fires emit high levels of carbon dioxide and because of the reliance on wood fuel, lead to local deforestation. In addition, smoke from the open fires leads to respiratory illnesses.

The fuel-efficient and solar stoves not only benefit local environments, but also help improve the health of local villages. We've also taught locals to build and sell the stoves, creating a sustainable source of income. For more information, please visit Blue Ventures Carbon Offset.
