š² Smoke-Free Homes Project
Healthy Cooking ā¢ Healthy Families ā¢ Healthy Community
š Project Background
In many Maasai communities, families cook inside traditional houses using open fire and firewood.
These homes usually have no windows or proper ventilation, causing thick smoke to remain trapped inside.
Daily exposure to indoor smoke is causing serious health problems such as:
- Persistent cough
- Chest pain and breathing difficulties
- Eye irritation and headaches
- Increased risk of pneumonia in children
- Long-term respiratory diseases in women
Women and young children are the most affected, as they spend the most time near the cooking fire.
š„ The Solution
Maasai Volunteering Solutions is introducing improved cooking stoves with metal chimney systems, allowing smoke to safely exit through the roof.
This simple and affordable solution creates:
ā
Cleaner air inside homes
ā
Safer cooking environments
ā
Better health for families
Additionally, these stoves:
- Use less firewood
- Reduce cooking time
- Improve fire safety
- Reduce pressure on local forests
šÆ Project Objectives
- Reduce indoor air pollution in Maasai homes
- Prevent respiratory and chest-related diseases
- Promote awareness of healthy home environments
- Build local skills in stove construction and maintenance
- Strengthen community participation in health solutions
āļø What Will We Do?
- Identify families most affected through community surveys
- Provide health education and awareness sessions
- Train local youth and artisans
- Build and install improved cooking stoves
- Monitor impact and support long-term adoption
š Expected Impact
ā Smoke-free and healthier homes
ā Reduction in respiratory illnesses
ā Safer environments for women and children
ā Increased awareness of healthy living
