tackle Indoor Air Pollution

A new global 'entity' has been established between the Shell
Foundation and Envirofit, promising to "ramp up the battle against the
'Silent Killer In The Kitchen'". It aims at a USD 25m investment in 5
years to reduce Indoor Air Pollution

[Tuesday 25 September 2007, London] Independent UK charity Shell
Foundation and US environmental nonprofit Envirofit International
today announced a partnership that has the potential to significantly
reduce the number of global deaths caused by Indoor Air Pollution
(IAP) - the smoke generated by traditional fires and stoves used in
developing world homes. Envirofit has the task of handling the
scale-up and spin off of the Shell Foundation's Breathing Space
programme, which was founded in 2002 to achieve significant global
reductions in IAP. This new partnership is part of the Foundation's
mission to see 10 million clean-burning stoves sold in five countries
over the next five years.
