The Pakistan Chulah exemplifies energy conservation, along with fostering social uplift and improved health of women residing in sub-urban and rural areas of industrially developing countries. It has been designed as a zero carbon footprint, clean burning fuel-efficient double cook stove. It utilizes small sticks or twigs, agricultural waste and sawdust bricks. It is constructed entirely with sun-dried mud bricks or layered mud/lime application carrying a lime/mud render for weather resistance.
Heritage Foundation of Pakistan has helped build 40,000 Pakistan Chulahs at no cost to donors. The self build Pakistan Chulah is extremely low cost (US$8.00 including the fee paid to the master trainer, labeled Barefoot Entrepreneur}, and acts as a source of women’s empowerment. Because of its fuel efficient attributes and use of reduced biomass, It represents environmental and social justice for marginalized sections, at the same time fostering an elevated status for women in society.
