In many remote areas across the globe women have to face unprecedented hardships and are exposed to grave health hazards due to limited or no access to clean energy. Dependence on conventional fuels for cooking and other daily routine work puts them at constant health, security and growth risk. This also diminish women’s ability to engage in economically productive activities thus impacting the overall socio-economic condition of communities.
