I agree that burning wood and other fuels like that is not what the rural people of the world should be saddled with forever. They need the kind of cooking fuel I have.

But for now, we can really help them have healthier lives and less menial labor. There is no contradiction between helping out now with better wood stoves and knowing that their governments, central and local, must do more as quickly as possible to improve their access to good energy, water, housing and all the rest.

We are happy to bring our stove to the Maasai. We have 100% "sustained adoption" and the attached photo shows why. Yes, someday they will be much better off, we hope, and not need this sort of thing. But for now, to see Rhoda, cooking some beans with her grandchild on her lap, safe and smoke free, is a motivating image that makes us proud and happy.
