Smokeless Chulha
Smoking is injurious to health and so is the smoke produced from the traditional chulhas(Stoves). The traditional chulha uses wood for cooking. They not only pollute the environment but also causes various respiratory diseases and lungs infections. Tuberculosis, low birth weight, heart diseases, still birth are the other diseases that can happen due to these. Coughing is the most common among the women, pregnant women and children using traditional chulhas at homes.
It is the time to make these women aware of the harmful effects of using these traditional chulhas and so we have come up with introducing SMOKELESS chulhas. These are designed in such a way that it uses less wood, cooks more efficiently and produces less smoke. We are making women aware to make these chulhas at home.
We have encouraged people from different villages to volunteer. We conduct training sessions with the help of our supporters (Smokeless Cookstove Foundation) for these volunteers, so that they can encourage the people around them to make these chulhas in their houses.
Till now we have targeted 37 villages around Khandwa district and made 700 houses smoke free.
We need to reach 25000 houses in 180 villages.
