Organization
BLUWAVE MALAWI
Mission
To introduce clean cooking with Blustove using ethanol into Malawi so that deforestation is reduced, ill health and deaths of women and children are reduced and climate change is reduced.
It will take a two pronged approach so that the middle classes can purchase a Blustove and poor people can obtain it with a subsidy. Profits would be ploughed back into the enterprise.

Ethanol / Alcohol
Clean Cooking Activities
We want to develop Blustove so that it can be sold at an affordable price in Malawi together with ethanol. We also want to make them.affordable for poor people, 80% of whom.live in the rural areas. This will involve provision of subsidies and micro finance. The production of ethanol.from.banana vegetation is also of interest with the possibility of eventually setting up a plant. We are working with the Gaia Project. We believe that community education will be of great importance.
Partnership
We can share research results from testing Blustove and our experience of introducing Blustove etc into Malawi. We have an interest and experience of.women's empowerment.
