The rural poor Pakistan still depend on wood-burning stoves for food preparation and warmth. Inefficient traditional stoves emit copious amounts of smoke that lead to health issues such as acute respiratory infections and eye soreness. They also burn large amounts of fuel which means arduous hours collecting fuel and smoke-filled homes. AKAH helped introduce a new energy-efficient stove that emits less smoke and cuts fuel consumption by 30-50%. The design has been so successful that it has been appropriated by entreprenuers and adopted far beyond the original target population.
