With this new cooking resource, families can now save time and money and focus on the care and education of their children. The programme facilitates women empowerment by training female entrepreneurs and actively involving them in the marketing and sale of cookstoves. This allows women in rural India to gain their own income, thus improving their livelihoods and social position in their communities. A local community group in Khanav village also contributes to this project by providing ethical, affordable loans to households so that the cost of a new cookstove can be repaid over several months.
