Overview

Inside the project

Families using Prime stoves consume less than half the wood needed by a traditional stove, and the stoves reduce nearly all emissions that cause respiratory diseases.

As of February 2015, over 10,000 people were already using Prime stoves, with a target of 17,000 Prime cookstoves sold in North Sumatra by the end of 2015.
