Excellent story, I'm glad she has found success and spreading success down the chain, especially with women.
As well as saving trees, reducing emissions and lung cancer, this will also help reduce other illnesses associated with open fire cooking like cataracts.
I once read that excessive aid to third world countries can prevent initiatives like this; the famous example given was that gifting mosquito nets prevents local net manufacturers from thriving, thus keeping the economy down.
But wouldn't education help more such solutions happening?
(I'm in favour of people from first world countries coming there and building schools with safe toilets for girls, cause I wouldn't want to wait until the locals get around to it ... if they ever do. There must be some basis of knowledge for people being able to help themselves.)
Need a break from all the depressing things about being a woman in this world? This circle is for you!
This circle is for celebrating all the good news relating to women's interests (and by all, we mean ALL, even the things you might disagree with, e.g. achievements or advancements for women in the military, business, religion, etc.)
Rules:
Relevance: Women should be the primary focus. Posts about men being held accountable, found guilty of crimes, etc. are NOT appropriate for this circle.
Formatting: Posts should be actual news, preferably in the form of an article or from an official news source. Do not edit the headline of linked articles; if you would like to provide additional commentary, please do so in a comment.
Civility: Keep discussions on topic. Do not denigrate the achievements or advancements of women.
Promoting Infighting or Drama: Do not start or perpetuate infighting or drama. Disagreements must be civil and must be about the CONTENT of the post, not about the poster, other commenters, the site, etc.

yes it is far better to have community-based solutions, it is more cost-sensitive, adopted more quickly, and lifts the whole community.
