Summary

This program promotes the use of traditional cooking systems that prevent severe negative effects on health, especially among local women and children, and on the environment. This is a quarterly report of the program for the quarter begging August to October, 2025. The program was designed to reduce health hazards among local women and children through the promotion of the use of clean energy cooking stoves among 800 households in Kibuku District, Eastern Uganda. The project secured 36 clean energy cooking stoves and distributed to 18 local women and trained 5 local hotel owners and 81 community members on the benefit of energy cook stoves in Kibuku District in the quarter.

 Achievements:

1. Mobilized and sensitized 81 community members on the benefit of energy saving cook stoves.
2. 18 households received 2 cook stoves each
3. Trained 5 local hotel owners on the benefit of energy saving cook stoves.

Challenges

1. The organization is constrained with financial support to facilitate mass production of cook stoves
2. Limited involvement of the local leaders in sensitizing the community on the benefit of energy savg cook stoves
3. Most of the local women lack adequate capacity to provide local materials
4. There is high expectations from the community ie need for free services still exists

Recommendation:

The project is too significant that it reduces contraction of infections caused by use of poor cooking methods. In addition, the project limits excessive cut down of tree for firewood and charcoal. This is therefore a request for partners to support the program.
