Mali 0.50 Elevage

Mali 10F
"Foyers Améliorès: Pour un Mali Vert" means "Better stoves for a green Mali". People were using so much firewood for their cooking that they were running out of wood, and the desert advanced onto the dry land. This "better" stove is designed to keep the heat in and use less wood. That’s why there are trees still growing in the background.
