Charlot told us about the impact of winning the 2022 Clean Our Air prize.

“Previously, people used open fires and inefficient stoves, which would burn a lot of fuel quickly and produced toxic smoke. Ours has a raised carbon efficiency, so the fuel burns for a little bit longer and reduces the amount of toxic smoke that is emitted.

“We’re based in Western Kenya, but I’m planning to scale out. We’ve always had good feedback for our stoves, but for a long time, we struggled to reach that many people. But now we’re doing that with help from the Earthshot Prize and their partners.

“It was so shocking even becoming a finalist, let along winning, but very validating, because we knew we had a product that was working very well, saving lives and increasing household income.
