Dear Friends,
It’s been an incredibly busy
August as we kicked off new programs in Nepal and Ghana while also gearing up
for an autumn filled with market building, advocacy, and awareness-raising
activities.
In Kathmandu, key partners
helped launch an Alliance-led program to promote smoke-free kitchens, while in
Accra, the Alliance joined the Ghana EPA to kick off a new air quality
monitoring program to better measure household air pollution. We were also glad to work with National Geographic
on a beautiful photo essay and feature story about clean cooking efforts in
Guatemala, which will help educate millions of NatGeo readers globally about
this issue!
Looking ahead, Alliance
partners and champions will promote clean cooking at a host of events
and activities during the United Nations General Assembly in September. And of
course, the Clean Cooking Forum kicks off on October 24 in New Delhi, where
we’ve lined up an impressive list of speakers, plenary discussions, and site
visits. I look forward to seeing many of you next month in New York and this October in India!
Thanks for your continued
support as we work toward September, October, and beyond.

Radha Muthiah
