Meet the Berkeley-Darfur Stove
The Darfur Stoves Project seeks to protect Darfuri women by providing them with specially developed stoves which require less firewood, decreasing women’s exposure to violence while collecting firewood and their need to trade food rations for fuel.
The Darfur Stoves Project collaborates with international organizations such as Oxfam America and the Sudanese organization, Sustainable Action Group (SAG).
With our collaborators, the Darfur Stoves Project has distributed over 20,000 stoves as of October 2011.
The Darfur Stoves Project is the first initiative of our parent organization, Technology Innovation for Sustainable Societies (TISS), soon to be renamed Potential Energy. The mission of TISS/Potential Energy is to link research institutions, nonprofit organizations, and private distributors to increase the availability of affordable, appropriate technology to help improve the quality of life and create employment in places affected by poverty and conflict.
