2. Despite all of priceless ecological, economic, social and health
benefits, people are destroying the very forests they need to live and
breathe.
2,000,000 Ton of firewood is burned everyday…
730,000,000 Ton of firewood burned every year…
13 Million Hectares of the world’s forests are lost every year…
The green lungs of the earth are vanishing fast…
3. A happy girl is the future of country…
But in our country girls and women
have the highest exposure to biomass
smoke.
4. Due to 30% of Black Carbon & C02
emissions from domestic consumption
of biomass fuels in Asia, Himalayan
Glaciers would disappear in 30 years.
5. In India about 5,00,000 deaths annually
are attributed to Indoor Air Pollution
*Death of One woman or child is caused
due to Smoke hazards every 20 sec
Ironically these deaths are occurring while
cooking meals for the family…
6. More than 1.6 million people die
Globally every year from the effects
of breathing poisonous smoke.
7. Indoor air pollution (IAP) from chulhas claims a
shocking 500,000 lives in India every year, most
of whom are women and children.
According to WHO, India accounts for 80% of the 600,000 premature
deaths in south-east Asia annually due to exposure to IAP. Nearly 70% of
rural households kitchens in India don't even have ventilation.
An estimated 80% of the expenditure of a rural household in India could
go into health services.
A simple mechanism promoting smokeless chulhas and improving
ventilation can reduce the incidents of Indoor Air Pollution deaths by half.
8. Over 3 billion people rely on the burning of
solid fuels to prepare their meals.
Burning solid fuels emits carbon monoxide, particulates, benzene and
formaldehyde which can result in pneumonia, asthma, blindness, lung
cancer, tuberculosis and low birth weight.
WHO estimates pollution levels in rural Indian kitchens to be 30 times higher
than recommended levels.
Suspended particles present inside a kitchen have 1,000 times greater chance
to penetrate deep into your lungs than the suspended particles outside.
Women are constantly exposed to chulha smoke in India due to cultural
mindsets.
9. We need You...to join hands in eradicating Indoor Air Pollution....
We need your support to make rural women take charge of their health...
We need your participation in our effort to make girls live fullest life....
10. We seek your participation in developing a product that would minimize
Air pollution...
11. We have a solution to eliminate this
Silent Killer (Indoor Air Pollution)
We could save precious lives, save future generations, save forests, save
environment, reduce carbon emissions, slow down climatic changes and
reduce the drastic rate of melting of the Himalayan glacier.
We have chalked out a program which can fulfil all the requirements of
saving lives & be efficient as well as be SUSTAINABLE.
We however cannot do this without a larger partner group like yours which
could provide support to develop such Virtuous product.
Together we could save lives and improve our environment in a sustainable
& scalable manner.
12. are currently under development
A futuristic product with a potential
to change the way rural India cooks today...
13.
14. It is a tragic irony that the very act of preparing food, designed to aid and
nurture a family, puts the same family at risk.
Let us take the first step to change this situation...
