Context: Most Maasai homes are among un-healthiest living spaces on the planet. They have neither windows nor vents in the roof. The women cook for up to five hours per day indoors with an open fire. Smoke fills the houses, which are sooty and dirty. As a result, women and children suffer from indoor pollution. The Maasai Stoves and Solar Project designs and installs clean-burning and efficient wood burning stoves and solar-panel based electrical systems in the homes of the people. About the NGO The Maasai Stoves and Solar Project operates under the umbrella of the International collaborative for Science, Education and the Environment, Tanzania.
