STORY ABOUT BANWO
It started in August 2010 when we (some of us like-minded moms) residing in the San Francisco Bay Area came together to provide children to have complete cultural experience and value Nepali language and tradition. We wanted our children to learn Nepali language and culture so that our children will respect and know their Nepali roots.

We are collaborating with University of California Berkeley alumni initiated start-up Energant (www.energant.com) to provide clean cooking, lighting and powering solutions (K2) to earthquake-affected population Bay Area Nepali Women Organization will be managing the assembly, organize and distribute these stoves. Different organization has already pledged 250 units of these stoves.
Air pollution due to cooking on an inefficient stove and smoke from simple kerosene
wick lamp is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Nepal.
Studies conducted in Nepal have documented chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
Tuberculosis, Cataract in women, and pneumonia in children from use of simple biomass
cookstove. Study has also documented Tuberculosis disease from use of
kerosene wick lamp. Therefore, there is a need to expand clean cooking and lighting
solutions to reduce future health problems in Nepal.
