Problem

Since 2003, millions of men, women, and children have been displaced in the Darfur region of Sudan. Today, more than 2.5 million people are living in crowded camps scattered across arid desert areas, one of the most hostile environments in the world. Natural resources are dangerously scarce and the responsibility to collect fuel wood and drinking water usually falls to the women in the camps - imposing great risk upon themselves as they have to leave the relative safety of the camps.

The Gift

Since 2004, CHF has been working in the Darfur region managing more than 20 different activities designed to help give vulnerable women more control over their lives and their futures. Operating around the community centers CHF is establishing in the camps, one of these projects is producing and distributing stoves that allowing the women to use 70% less fuelwood to cook the same amount of food—thereby reducing the number of trips that need to be made, as well as increasing household savings.

CHF's Darfur Fuel-Efficient Stoves project is changing the lives of hudnreds of vulnerable women in Darfur by giving them a tangible way to increase their household income--a simple change that is improving their personal safety, health, and dignity for a better life.
