CARE is managing 3 IDP sites in Eastern Chad. To face the lack of natural resources in the region, CARE provides energy-saving stoves to IDPs and local population.
The stoves save up to 80 per cent of wood comparing to a traditional fireplace.

Malnutrition Mattersi, Ottawa, Canada
Steam boiler: Operates on wood or other solid fuels or liquid gas. Steam-injected pressure -cooking can be 10 times more fuel efficient than traditional open fire cooking and more efficient than improved stove-design cooking. Water is heated in an inner chamber and the resulting steam is re-heated in a tube, creating a “superheated steam” that is much hotter than regular steam. The steam is then fed into the cooker. The boiler is inexpensive to build, safe, and can be taken apart for cleaning, which is critical since most boilers accumulate scale on their inner shells and eventually fail.
