Empowering Clean Cooking
TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH CLEAN COOKING SOLUTIONS
Who We Are
What is Clean Cooking?
Clean cooking means using cooking solutions that are safe for people and the environment. Unlike Traditional cooking methods (using wood, charcoal, kerosene) produce harmful indoor air pollution, leading to respiratory illnesses, heart disease, and premature deaths, especially among women and children.
Clean cooking technologies (like electric stoves, induction cookstoves, biogas digesters) drastically reduce or eliminate these harmful emissions, leading to cleaner indoor air and better health for families.
Clean cooking means using cooking solutions that are safe for people and the environment. Unlike traditional stoves that burn firewood, charcoal, or dung, clean stoves reduce smoke, save energy, and prevent health risks. Clean cooking includes technologies like electric stoves, improved biomass stoves, and solar or biogas solutions.

Why Clean Cooking
clean cooking is one of the most impactful solutions we have for improving health, empowering women, protecting our environment, and building a stronger economy. By making the switch, we are not just changing how we cook; we are building a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future for all Ethiopians.
01. Improved Health Outcomes
Each year, unsafe cooking practices expose millions of Ethiopians to harmful indoor smoke.
• 70,000+ people in Ethiopia die annually from household air pollution
• Women and children are most affected
Health risks include:
• Respiratory infections
• Eye conditions
• Burns and chronic illness
Clean cooking drastically reduces these risks, making kitchens safer and families healthier.
02. Add Your Organization
Women and girls spend up to 4 hours daily collecting firewood, limiting time for school, work, or family.
Clean stoves reduce this burden, enabling:
• Time for income-generating activities
• Increased school attendance
• Improved household productivity
03. Environmental Protection
Reliance on firewood and charcoal is a major driver of:
• Deforestation
• Soil degradation
• Greenhouse gas emissions
Clean cooking technologies help reduce biomass demand, allowing forests to recover and supporting Ethiopia’s climate resilience and conservation goals.
04. Energy Efficiency and Modernization
05. Enhanced Safety

Phone: +251 900 115 459
Why should I choose a labeled stove over an unlabeled one?
Labeled products are safer and more durable, more energy-efficient, typically come with warranties and quality gurantees.
How can I verify if a product is certified or labeled?
By looking for official labels issued by PEA, physically verify the products. You can also ask the vendors for proof of certification.
Products listed on our products page, have a tag showing PEA labeled products.
What are the benefits of using a labeled clean cooking product?
- Helthier indoor air (less smoke)
- Lower fuel and energy expenses
- Improved safety and lifespan
- Reduced environmental impact
What types of clean cooking products are available?
There are several technologies available, including electric stoves (coil, radiant, induction), electric Injera Mitads, improved biomass stoves, solar cookers, and biogas digesters. You can explore our products page.
Is electric cooking reliable in Ethiopia given power outages?
While electricity reliability can be a concern in some areas, the Ethiopian Electric Utility is working to improve grid stability. The platform focuses on highlighting energy-efficient eCooking appliances and providing information on efficient usage. For areas with frequent outages, solar cookers or improved biomass stoves may serve as complementary options.
