Institutional Clean Cooking Factsheet
Globally, 466 million children receive daily school meals. In developing countries, most of these meals are cooked with polluting fuels and inefficient stoves, directly impacting the health of students and staff, and contributing to environmental degradation. In Sub-Saharan Africa alone, schools burn over 8 million tons of firewood annually. This reliance on polluting cooking methods accelerates forest degradation and climate change, and exposes millions of students and educators to dangerous levels of indoor air pollution.
