SayPro is improving household health by expanding the use of clean cookstoves in underserved communities, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps. SayPro knows that traditional cooking methods, like open fires or kerosene stoves, produce dangerous indoor air pollution. This results in serious health issues, particularly for women and children who spend more time near the cooking area. SayPro introduces energy-efficient, low-emission cookstoves that use less wood or alternative fuels like biogas. Peace Corps volunteers help train families on how to use and maintain these stoves, while also educating them about the health and environmental benefits. SayPro ensures these cookstoves are affordable, safe, and adapted to local cooking habits. With SayPro’s support, communities experience reduced respiratory illness, lower fuel costs, and decreased environmental degradation. SayPro believes that clean air starts at home, and these cookstoves are a simple but powerful tool for change.
SayPro’s clean cookstove initiative involves working closely with women’s groups, cooperatives, and health centers. Peace Corps volunteers help host awareness campaigns, cooking demos, and community discussions on stove usage. SayPro ensures that cookstove designs reflect local culinary traditions so users feel comfortable transitioning. These stoves are made from durable, locally available materials and are designed to reduce smoke and fuel usage by over 60%. SayPro also integrates lessons on climate change and deforestation into the program, showing communities how their kitchen choices impact the planet. In many areas, SayPro helps families access microloans or subsidies to purchase clean cookstoves. The initiative reduces the time women spend gathering firewood, giving them more time for work, education, and family. SayPro’s approach is not only about technology—it’s about empowerment, health, and environmental justice. With SayPro, clean cooking becomes a path to cleaner lives.
SayPro Charity NPO supports this program under its health and environmental focus areas. SayPro partners with stove manufacturers, research institutions, and healthcare providers to ensure that clean cookstoves meet safety standards and are widely available. Peace Corps volunteers assist with household surveys and health assessments to measure the stoves’ impact. SayPro distributes educational materials through clinics and schools to raise awareness about indoor pollution. These efforts reduce household smoke exposure, especially in homes with children and elderly residents. SayPro also trains local entrepreneurs to produce and repair cookstoves, turning this project into a source of income and skill-building. SayPro ensures sustainability by creating supply chains and maintenance networks in every target region. This program transforms kitchens from toxic zones into healthy, efficient, and eco-friendly spaces. With SayPro, families breathe easier and live better. Clean cooking is no longer a dream—it’s a reality powered by SayPro’s vision.
SayPro plans to scale the program through a “Breathe Clean” campaign, which will expand distribution networks and create digital tutorials in local languages. Peace Corps volunteers will help form Clean Air Clubs in schools to promote awareness among the next generation. SayPro is cooking up a future where every household enjoys health, dignity, and environmental harmony—starting with a stove.
