Area of work:
Low-cost stoves and water treatment can reduce the serious health impacts of cooking smoke and poor quality drinking water. But there are many challenges for a local business to produce or distribute these improved technologies, and the price may be out of reach for the people who need them most.
However, stoves and water treatment devices cut greenhouse gas emissions. Impact Carbon, a US-based not-for-profit company, saw the potential to use carbon finance to help businesses expand their work and bring the benefits of improved technologies to more people.
