Cooking is a basic necessary need to survive, but around 2.8 billion people globally do not have access to modern technology. To do so they have to cook with unsustainable and unreliable means of energy such as biomass and kerosene in small, unprepared kitchens. As a result, those who cook tend to develop respiratory illnesses. Who pays the price? Mostly women and children. As they spend more time indoors, they suffer worst health outcomes and therefore get sick more frequently than men. However, this can be improved by switching to clean energy.
