2016 TBCA Projects
- TBCA continues to fund the production and delivery of efficient, ventilated cookstoves designed to be compatible with local needs and customs. The stoves are made in the remote village of Lumla in Arunachal Pradesh, India. These stoves decrease the number of smoke related childhood deaths, reduce smoke related diseases, provide a more efficient way of cooking, decrease deforestation, and create smokeless homes.
