It is heartbreaking to see schools struggling to buy food, as prices are rising, and firewood becomes more expensive by the hour. By helping schools move away from traditional 3-stone fires, the school saves at least 50% on firewood purchases, meaning that money saved can be used towards supporting the purchase of food. Per year, a school with 800 day scholars can save up to USD 1,000 from firewood NOT purchased, as they use the institutional improved cook stoves to prepare their daily meals.
