How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Powerstove directly empowers women—who bear the primary burden of cooking and fuel collection—by drastically reducing their time spent gathering wood and exposure to harmful smoke. This economic and health empowerment positions them as vital agents in the climate solution. Our model further ensures inclusion by integrating them into our supply chain as distributors and agents, creating sustainable livelihoods.

Within our organization, these groups are represented at every level. Our leadership and field teams are majority local talent from the communities we serve, ensuring that lived experience directly shapes our product design, distribution strategies, and community engagement. This deep, grassroots representation guarantees that our solutions are culturally appropriate, widely adopted, and genuinely community-led, moving beyond tokenism to authentic ownership and impact.
