Environmental research

The project aims at reducing the consumption of fuel wood by the communities living adjacent to the Mt. Kilimanjaro forests reserve through the use of stone made fuel efficient stove. The use of fuel-efficient stoves will reduce the consumption of fuel wood by 75% per household. The use of this stone made cooking stoves will contribute in conserving the Mt. Kilimanjaro forests as 60% of the fuel woods used in Moshi town are believed to come from the forests around Mt. Kilimanjaro .This project will promote wide use of low cost fuel wood efficient stone made stoves through capacity building to locals on how to construct these stoves. This project will also promote the use of these stoves through private sectors.
