Background

To prevent deforestation, protect habitat, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, WWF launched a program to increase the number of households using energy-efficient stoves in Goma. The project has achieved bringing women into the fold and close some gender gaps whilst families are using a more efficient stove to cut their fuel bill in half. Environmentally, emissions have decreased and thousands of acres of Virunga’s forest each year are saved.
