900 MILLION People in sub-Saharan Africa who lack access to clean cooking:
“There are only five and a half years until the 2030 goal of universal access to clean cooking – and we are far away from this. BURN is now Africa’s leading clean cooking company and one of the only carbon project developers to cover the full carbon value chain, from project design and in-house monitoring to credit issuance and we’ve distributed over five million stoves. Over 900 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to clean cooking. The reliance on inefficient stoves and open fires bankrupts families, destroys forests and increases indoor air pollution, leading to the death of 600,000 people, mostly women and children, every year. If there are five people in the household and 200 million households there are about 196 million more households to go. It is not a small problem.” – BURN Manufacturing
