kiva


Claudine is 40 years old. She is married with two children, 12 and 10 years old. Her household consists of five people. Claudine lives in a rural area near the other members of Kabere 16 Group. Claudine is unemployed, but her family income comes from her husband, who works in the sector. 

Claudine says she is choosing to lease a cook stove from Inyenyeri because she wants to save money on fuel used for cooking, and she also appreciates that it cooks cleanly. 

She currently uses charcoal for cooking. It is more expensive than using Inyenyeri’s fuel pellets, and the smoke causes black pots, ruined clothing, and sooty walls and ceiling. 

Claudine plans to use the money she saves on fuel to resume her chicken farming business.

In addition to the opportunities for improving the family’s livelihood that drew Claudine to the new stove, Inyenyeri’s Stove + Fuel system also provides a number of other valuable benefits: improved health outcomes through a substantial reduction of household air pollution, less environmental degradation related to the current unsustainable use of biomass for cooking, and mitigation of climate change through reduction of CO2 and black soot carbon emissions.
