The work of Maasai Stoves & Solar
The Maasai Stoves & Solar Project of the International Collaborative designs and installs smoke-removing and efficient wood-burning chimney stoves and solar panel-based electrical systems in the people’s homes. We also install settlement-wide solar panel-based micro-grid electrical systems for shared power. Water sanitation projects are also central to our mission.
Project locations
The Maasai Stoves & Solar Project started in Monduli district, Tanzania. We also work in Longido, Simajiro, and Ngorongoro districts. In Monduli district alone there are twenty thousand homes still to improve. With one million Maasai in Tanzania, the International Collaborative’s broad programs show the way forward for widespread improvement in the lives of the people.
Climate change adaptation
As part of our climate change adaptation mission , projects that demonstrate new livestock management and agriculture techniques are key. As climate changes, the people have to build on their local knowledge, outside ideas, and resources to overcome dependence on environmental conditions that are changing and out of their control.
