Karbon Kredit Ventures is working on an initiative to distribute ICS (Improved Cook Stove) to people living in rural Geographies of India and using old traditional cook stoves which emits hazardous smoke and claim their precious life. This old stoves also harm environment at a large extent as more fuel (Majorly wood) is used in these stoves and it leads deforestation.
Karbon Kredit Ventures is currently active in Madhya Pradesh and has changed life of thousands of people belonging to bottom of the pyramid and under privileged areas of Madhya Pradesh till now
As per the National Institutes of health data over two thirds of all households in India (about 170 million households, or nearly 800 million people) cook on traditional stoves using solid bio-fuels such as wood, agricultural waste, coal and dried cattle manure. This practice can adversely impact respiratory health of individuals and local forests and other environmental resources, as well as contribute to climate change.
To confront these negative impacts, we have sought to disseminate and distribute the improved cook stoves at zero cost
