Shashikala S PatilI used to burn 10kg of wood each week but now I only need 5kg. It used to take me three days to collect this wood but now it takes only half that time. And cooking time is now one hour instead of two. |
Suman PatilI used to take tablets once a week and go to a doctor because of my breathing. Now with the improved cookstove, I haven't seen the doctor's face for over a month. |
Indu Bai Deepak KondhalkarI used to cough with the old stove but that doesn’t happen with the new one. It also burns less fuel so I spend almost half as much time collecting wood. I like it! |
Archana GardiI bought an improved stove mainly to reduce the soot deposits on my kitchen walls and to save fuel, but as a result I’ve noticed that I now have less eye problems. |
Swati DadasukhatarMy walls used to turn black and the stove also used a lot of wood-fuel, which is scarce over here as there aren’t many trees in the area. |
Mrs Bhima Balkrishna WaghmarI used to get breathless and my eyes watered when blowing my old stove. It was difficult to work and every couple of weeks I had to take to my bed and borrow wood from my neighbours to light the fire. |
