A Tanzanian household needs 2,500 kilos of wood a year to cook with traditional fires and stoves. TaTEDO feels this is a waste. Many Tanzanians who live in the country cook on fires built between three flat stones. In the cities women tend to use non-insulated metal stoves which run on charcoal. 'In either case, the energy output is only 15%,' says TaTEDO director Estomih Sawe.
