AFNON
The Cost of Cooking with Firewood
In Zambia, more than 80% of households still rely on charcoal and firewood for cooking. This dependence drives deforestation, worsens indoor air pollution, and contributes to climate change. Traditional stoves are inefficient, unhealthy, and costly in the long term, particularly for low-income families.
A 3-in-1 Clean Energy Stove
AFNON introduces an energy-efficient 3-in-1 stove that reduces reliance on charcoal and firewood. The stove cuts household energy costs, improves indoor air quality, and provides a safer, more sustainable way of cooking. By combining innovation with affordability, AFNON promotes healthier families and greener communities.
Impact and Achievements
Since 2015, AFNON has proven the viability of clean cooking solutions at scale. The project has created permanent employment, reached thousands of customers, and generated consistent revenues while reducing deforestation pressure in Zambia.
