Caption: Near Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2013. Three students of Selam Vocational School wave as I visit their vocational training facility. HESN is working with local fabricators to develop manufacturing solutions for cleaner cookstoves. Most Ethiopians rely on traditional wood or dung-fueled fires to cook their food. These fires contribute to Ethiopia's severe deforestation and produce toxic smoke. Worldwide, the smoke from traditional fires kills 4 million people every year -- more than AIDs, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. HESN is working to solve the crisis of cooking by working with communities to design and evaluate cleaner-burning cookstoves.
