The ACE 1
Right now, three billion people worldwide are cooking on open fires, or using dirty and dangerous fuel. This has a huge impact on health, with an estimated 4 million people dying from indoor cooksmoke each year. This is more than HIV/AIDS and Malaria combined and is a problem that is widely unknown and entirely preventable. The majority of the people affected are women and children living in developing countries who die prematurely from illness caused by excessive smoke inhalation.
