The Maasai people of east Africa are historically migrant herders. When they do settle, they build mud huts, with 10-odd structures in a family settlement, making up a minor community, or a \u201cboma\u201d. A boma may house 50 \u2013 100 people and their livestock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking is traditionally done on an open fire inside the hut. This creates enormous smoke and hazard for burning of young children. Early death from smoke-inhalation-related diseases is common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TGUP has funded 300 vented stoves and chimneys for cooking, warmth, and safety. More than 95% of smoke and carbon monoxide is vented through the engineered stove and chimney. The stoves also use 60% less firewood than their open-air predecessors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
