Reducing hunger

Bangladesh
Promoting clean food & water
In Bangladesh the government promotes healthy food by educating the street food vendors a lot of the local people rely on. They are being taught basic hygiene, how to produce clean food and water. And with commercial succes too!
Lesotho
Safe cooking
400.000 (!) people a year die from indoor smoke pollution. African Clean Energy works on a solution by producing the ACE, a smokeless, safe, solar powered and energy efficient cooking device. Not only can you cook on the ACE 1, you can power lamps and mobile phones with it too!
