Clearly a man with a mission, Govind became a strong advocate for improved stoves when, as a 14-year-old in Piuthan who did his homework by an oil lamp, he couldn’t bear to see his mother suffer chronic eye and lung infections because of exposure to smoke from the kitchen fire. “I knew we had to get the smoke out somehow, so I made a hole in the roof and installed a chimney,” he recalls. Now Govind is committed to making every Nepali household smokeless. He believes it is possible to eliminate indoor air pollution in the next four years and together with SNV, WWF, and IUCN he is dedicated to meeting this deadline by promoting the improved cookstove.
