Joyce Ngwira and her granddaughter Chimwemwe love cooking together but at the age of 77, Joyce no longer collects the firewood for cooking but relies on her 14-year-old granddaughter to do this for her.
She said, “I love my cookstove as it saves my granddaughter time because she doesn’t go to collect firewood as frequently.”
As the fuel-efficient cookstoves can cook two things at once, they save even more time and they are also safer as there is less risk of burns and smoke inhalation. This is important given how many children are in the kitchen with their mothers and grandmothers when they are cooking.
