Mansa - the smiling cook

Our mission

Mansa Clean Cook Stoves

Three billion people in the world cook in house using open fire, which causes a serious amount of indoor air pollution. As a consequence of this, more than 4.5 million people die each year, mostly women and children.

MANSA is on a mission to reduce the number of these premature deaths with an affordable clean cook stove, developed by Gambian women and Master students of the Technical University in Delft, the Netherlands.
