Ugastove Improved Stoves

Ugastove develops, markets and distributes improved stove technology.
Our improved charcoal stoves and institutional stoves are manufactured and sold throughout Uganda.
Ugastove has also developed a proprietary improved wood stove, adapting state-of-the-art rocket stove technology.
These products have many advantages over traditional wood and charcoal stoves:

• More efficient combustion saves money for consumers through reduced fuel costs.
• Reduction in the emission of harmful pollutants that can cause respiratory illnesses - a particular problem for women and children who suffer the effects when food is cooked indoors.
• Relieves some of the increasing pressure on Ugandan forests, which are being exploited for fuel. Currently, Ugandan deforestation rates are estimated at 2.2% per annum - one of the highest rates in the world. (Research statistic from a CARE report)
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions as proven through the Kitchen Performance Test (KPT) studies.
