VJ, a clean energy strategist who always encourages people do field testing so that can clear understand end users’ needs, realized SSM has rich experience on manufacturing clean cookstoves, he visited SSM in person from abroad. He told us most people in Haiti are still using traditional cooking stoves such as three stones which poses a threat to human health,contributing to respiratory diseases and even death.The income of women is especially low so an affordable,durable and energy saving clean cookstove is necessary for them.

After realizing the real needs of the end users, SSM designed an affordable cookstove and finished manufacturing within one month.VJ mentioned SSM is the best stove manufacturer in the world.
