[Stoves] Tanzania Project

[Stephanie Keller]

We are a team of environmental scientists working in the Lake Victoria region of Tanzania for CHEMA, a locally-run environmental NGO with a focus on teaching the community how to incorporate sustainable practices in their day-to-day lives (www.chematanzania.org). We have begun to analyze household energy patterns through a series of village-based surveys on fuelwood consumption and have determined to implement an improved cookstove project. Still, we feel at a loss as to how to begin and do not wish to reinvent the wheel. Thus, we are looking for information as to current best practice and tips on how to implement such a project in Africa. If you have any information relating to durable and simple-to-construct improved cookstove designs, please advise. We are particularly interested in fan stoves due to their high efficiency.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Stephanie
