The Himalayan Clean Stove Project was an initiative to improve the health and well-being of the families living in remote villages of the Himalayas through the usage of clean stoves. The clean stoves were provided to replace open fire stoves which caused detrimental effects in various ways. Clean Stoves burn the same wood and biomass fuel in a far more efficient manner reducing harmful emissions by up to 80% and reducing the wood requirement by up to 65% on average! This means a significantly lower risk of disease, lower contributions to climate change, cleaner air and fewer trees being cut. The stoves also require very little modification in cooking technique by rural consumers making them far more adoptable than solar and other clean cooking innovations.

With the Himalayan Clean Stove Project, distribution of over 300 stoves in 6 remote villages to improve health, lifestyle and environment in these environmentally fragile regions was made possible. During the project, volunteers led trips to remote regions to perform roadshows for spreading awareness. Follow up visits were also made to monitor the effectiveness of the solution.
