SAFE Stoves 1 Cooking on a three-stone fire at school in the Moroto district, Karamoja. This approach consumes a lot of fuel.

SAFE Stoves 2 Some schools in Karamoja required children to bring a stick with them every day so that the meals provided by WFP can be cooked.

SAFE Stoves 3 This type of mud/clay stove consumes less wood and conserves heat for much longer.

SAFE Stoves 5 Two standard mud/clay SAFE stoves, built outside a home in Karamoja. Even simple models can cut fuel consumption by 50%.

SAFE Stoves 4 A more sophisticated SAFE stove, used in Uganda.

SAFE stoves 8 In schools and other institutions, bigger SAFE stoves are needed to cook enough food for several classes. These stoves, shown here in a Zambian school, are made of steel.

SAFE Stoves 7 In drought-stricken Karamoja and Darfur, it has become harder and harder to find firewood. Women face long treks to fuel for cooking. If stoves consumed less, it would help women, but also an increasingly degraded landscape.

SAFE Stoves 6 In order to save fuel, women such as this refugee at the Nakivale settlement in Karamoja, sometimes undercook food, producing a health risk.
