On May 8th 2024, #Tanzania launched its National Clean Cooking Energy Strategy. With a massive TZS 4.6 trillion investment, it targets to reach 80% adoption of #cleancooking energy from 10% today for households by 2034. Schools, colleges, and prisons will also be converted. #SDG7

Nearly 300 million people need to gain access to cleaner cooking each year to 2030 to achieve universal access goals this decade.
The solutions needed to do this are low-cost & all commercially available today.

The most beautiful way to launch the @LivUni @MamaDoingGood and @CLEANAirAfrica household air pollution prevention program (TABLE-HAP) with 2,200 women’s table banks in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya.
Many thanks to Kenyan partners @MamaDoingGood and @UGC_TheChampion for a monumental occasion today in launching our new Table Banking Led Education in Prevention of household air pollution (TABLE-HAP) initiative.
The initiative, endorsed by @MOH_Kenya, will raise awareness of HAP, health and prevention through clean energy for 16,000 @MamaDoingGood Table Banks across Kenya as part of @SDG7.
Raising population awareness is needed to address 23,000 lost lives in Kenya each year. @MOH_Kenya aim to train 130,000 Community Health Promoters to promote behavior change under Universal Health Coverage.
