CLEAN COOKING TECHNOLOGY,
FOR HEALTHY FILIPINO HOMES
EVERY 16 SECONDS,
a person dies from indoor air pollution
Indoor air pollution comes from using solid fuels like wood and charcoal in open fires and inefficient stoves.
Nearly half of the world’s population are at risk of serious illnesses such as respiratory infections, pulmonary disease, and lung cancer.
Four million people die from cooking-related illnesses annually, the majority being women and children from the most vulnerable sectors of society.
Majority of Filipino households still use primitive fuels.
The investment cost of a traditional LPG cooking system is a barrier to the adoption of this clean cooking fuel.
