Atec Bangladesh's story

Switching to the eCook stove has been life-changing. If I could account for every penny saved since making the change, the amount would surely be significant. But the real relief is beyond money—I no longer cough while cooking, and my children and grandchildren can finally breathe freely without the discomfort of indoor smoke. At first, I thought I was too old to use this eCook stove, but it turns out it’s not that bad."

-Aklima, one of the women we’ve empowered.

For millions of women in Bangladesh, traditional cooking methods are more than a daily task—they’re a barrier to progress. Hours spent collecting firewood and tending to smoky stoves leaves little time for education, work or personal growth. The health risks are just as severe, with indoor air pollution harming both women and children.

With your support, we aim to change this narrative. By distributing 600+ eCook stoves, we are giving families access to a cleaner, faster and more efficient way to cook—creating measurable environmental, economic and social impact.

Clean cooking is not just a convenience; it's a pathway to independence, empowerment and climate action. Together, we can make this happen.

Don't wait—join us and empower change!
