Building climate change resilient
Through the project “Building a Sustainable Environment” YAED works to address and eradicate environmental vices that endanger the national ecosystem by giving communities the means to adapt and change their habits.
Overview of the project
Through the project “Building a Sustainable Environment” YAED works to address and eradicate environmental vices that endanger the national ecosystem. The organization works with the youth by producing environmental friendly clay cooking stoves. The project mission is to give communities the opportunity to take the necessary measures to retain and protect the environment.
The project which is being run with funding from SUN24 from United States of America provides improved cook stoves within Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world where 98% of families cook using firewood and charcoal.
The Chitetezo Mbaula clay stove uses much less firewood that traditional stoves and is easy and convenient to use, helping households to take that first step away from open fires, which pollute the air both in and outside of the home. The stoves are affordable (USD1-2), made entirely in Malawi, and accessible to those who need it most, mainly women cooking with wood on open fires.
