This project will provide 500 efficient charcoal stoves to internally displaced persons (IDPs) across five camps in Nigeria: Area 1, Kuchigoro, Masaka, Borno, and Benue State. Many displaced families in these camps lack access to electricity and cannot afford kerosene, forcing them to rely on unsafe and inefficient cooking methods. With declining support from UN agencies and USAID, this project provides a sustainable and cost-effective solution to a critical daily challenge.
Displaced families in Nigeria's IDP camps face severe challenges in preparing meals. Without access to electricity or affordable kerosene, many resort to open fires, exposing women, children, and the elderly to dangerous smokes, burns, and respiratory illnesses. The rising cost of fuel further strains already limited resources, forcing families to skip meals or risk unsafe alternatives. Recent cuts in support from humanitarian agencies have left thousands without reliable cooking solutions.
This project will distribute 500 efficient charcoal stoves to families in five IDP camps. These stoves burn cleaner, reduce harmful smoke, and cook faster than open fires. They lower health risks, save cooking time, and reduce charcoal costs. Designed for simplicity, they require no electricity or kerosene, making daily cooking safer and more sustainable for displaced families. Each stove will directly improve nutrition security and dignity for vulnerable households.
500 efficient charcoal stoves will transform daily life for displaced families across five IDP camps. By reducing smoke exposure by 60% and cooking accidents by 75%, these stoves will particularly protect women, children and the elderly from health risks. Families will save 30-40% on fuel costs while gaining 2 extra hours daily from faster cooking times. Built to last 5-10 years even with limited resource, each stove provides lasting relief from hunger,financial stress, and preventable diseases.
