Luni's story

These stoves are created using mud, which is moulded around a frame and then left to dry. And crucially, this new design is more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional wood-burning stoves, as it traps more heat, saving on cooking time and wood.

Luni herself has already installed 24 stoves in her village – getting paid to do so through a community initiative. “To be able to do something on my own gives me a sense of independence,“ she says.

Luni’s story shows just how transformative a small cash grant can be.
