Clean cooking is not a matter of convenience or luxury

"Using an open fire for cooking is like burning 400 cigarettes every hour," Kirk Smith.

This reality hits close to home for many communities across sub-Saharan Africa, where open fires remain the norm, particularly affecting women and children.

Clean cooking is not a matter of convenience or luxury, it is a critical need that addresses:

Public health，Environmental sustainability, and The deep-rooted issues of energy poverty.

Investing in clean cooking solutions is essential for:

✅ Protecting health

✅ Combating climate change, and

✅ Tackling the inequalities that leave so many without safer options.

It is possible in our lifetime to break the cycle and ensure clean cooking reaches every home and community.

We have the power to change this narrative and create a future where no one has to rely on harmful cooking methods.
