Reducing Household Air Pollution and Hypertension in Nigeria.
Household air pollution (HAP) caused by the use of solid fuels is a critical public health issue, resulting in 4.3 million premature deaths annually. In Nigeria, 90 million households cook with solid fuels. Our project is committed to driving the adoption of clean, high-efficiency cookstoves through community mobilization, effectively reducing HAP and preventing hypertension in peri-urban communities of Lagos.
Exploration & Preparation
Identifying barriers and facilitators of clean cookstove adoption, and developing a culturally-tailored community mobilization strategy
Implementation
Conducting a cluster RCT in peri-urban communities of Lagos to compare the effects of community mobilization versus self-directed conditions.
Sustainability
Evaluating the sustainability of clean cookstove use in participating households and communities
Our project’s success is best told by the voices of those who have been part of this transformative journey. Hear directly from community members.
It’s a wonderful initiative, but it would have even more impact if all households in the community could benefit. That way, everyone would feel the positive change. Thank you so much for your hard work
I have really enjoyed being part of this program, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity. May God continue to bless your organization for all the good work you're doing.
The LPG stove has made such a positive difference in my household. My children used to complain about the smoke, but now with the new stove, the air is better.
Since switching to the clean fuel stove, cooking has been much faster and easier. I spend less time gathering firewood, and now I can prepare meals quickly. This program has helped me.
