Description	Improved ceramic two-pothole cookstoves have been introduced to some families in the Badugul village. These stoves are introduced to reduce the health impacts of woodstoves for women and children. However, the women complain that it is more difficult to control heat to one or the other hole, the stove burns rice very quickly and ash builds up in the combustion chamber. But they like the fact that it can be taken to the fields or moved around.
