## About this carbon credit project

The carbon offsetting project in Rwanda involves the distribution and installation of fuel-efficient cookstoves in the Kayonza, Bugesera, and Nyamasheke districts. The primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing firewood consumption. The project also aims to deliver several social and community benefits, including:

- Improved health: By reducing indoor air pollution, the project helps to minimize the risk of respiratory diseases and other health issues associated with smoke inhalation.

- Gender equality: The fuel-efficient cookstoves reduce the time and effort required for cooking and collecting firewood, tasks that disproportionately fall on women and girls. This allows them more time for education, income-generating activities, and rest.

- Economic benefits: The project helps households save money by reducing their expenditure on firewood.

- Environmental benefits: The decreased firewood consumption contributes to forest conservation and helps to protect biodiversity. The project also reduces carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to the fight against climate change. 

The project resulted in the issuance of 170,516 tCO2e in carbon credits for the monitoring period of August 24, 2021, to August 23, 2023
