Total transparency. Direct "person-to-person" approach. Builds lifesaving clay cookstoves from existing materials (clay, dung, straw, banana plant stems), village by village, at very low cost (About $10 per cookstove.) Employs women to teach and train the owners and their neighbors how to build the cookstove. It shunts the smoke and gases outside the home, and it reduces both cooking time and the amount of fuel needed by 75%. Helps the environment (less desertification) and helps women and children spend less time on time-consuming gathering of fuel. No one in US is paid, only in the target countries of Uganda and Nepal. Excellent organization.
