Energy efficient cook stoves project empowering women

World Vision Ethiopia's Energy Efficient Cook Stoves Projects have been improving the saving culture of women through cooperatives in addition to safety, protection, fuel and time saving. A case in point is 15 Cooperatives of women established by  World Vision at Yaya Gulel have saved 844,000 Birr (nearly USD 42,200). Women in Nono Chemeri Kebele are taking part in leadership and decision making roles as facilitators, mobilizers, distributors, monitors and managers of these cooperatives. They also organize visits, monitoring and other plans for their cooperative benefits. Furthermore, women are constructing offices in all villages of the district to generate income sustainably.
