Market Development Initiative for Bondhu Chula

Objectives:

Due to low inefficiency of traditional cook-stove pressure on forest resources is increasing. On the other hand, women and children suffer from indoor air pollution caused by traditional stoves during cooking. In addition to this, it is accelerating the climate change process by emiting green house gases. Under "Market Development Initiative for Bondhu Chula” Project five lac Bondhu Chula named improved cook-stoves will be distributed and after sales service will be provided to keep the Bondhu Chula in good operating conditions.
Thus the objectives of the project are: reduce pressure on forest-resources, reduce indoor air pollution, minimize health risk and reduce emission of green house gases.

Activities:

1. Five lac Bondhu Chula will be distributed all over Bangladesh;

2. Five thousand entrepreneurs (one for each Union Parishad) in entire Bangladesh will be created;

3. Market of Bondhu Chula will be developed

Achievements:

1. Up to September 2013 approximately 3.5 lac Bondhu Chula have been installed;

2. In the same time, approximately five thousand entrepreneurs have been created.
