Working in the Cyamudongo Forest Region, a small relic forest near Rwanda's border with Burundi and the DRC, the grantee will promote the use of high efficiency wood-burning stoves to relieve pressure on the forest; distribute stoves to 1,000 households; and raise awareness of the benefit of these stoves among the 3,000 households in the area.

Strategic Direction: 2 Improve the protection and management of the KBA network throughout the hotspot.
