A school disciplinary report card—“You didn’t finish lunch,your class has received a deduction of points. ”—since my daughter grumble about the food in their canteen. I told her: “an 8-year-old in Africa spends 3 hours a day gathering wood; the smoke she breathes when cooking equals two packs of cigarettes. You should be content now.”
SSM’s clean cookstove is built for this kind of African girls and mothers: halves firewood, cuts smoke by 80 %, costs much less every month and lasts more than 10 years. One bowl of rice saved here funds one more class there. Our goal: no child coughing over a fire by 2035. A stove from SSM is Africa’s “second lung”.
