We believe in the power of clean cooking to transform lives.
One-third of humanity prepares meals over open fires or polluting stoves, contributing to premature death and limiting human potential. The Bettering Human Lives Foundation aims to increase access to clean cooking fuels by directly supporting local innovators and entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses. Together, we are committed to providing families with a pathway out of poverty through access to modern energy that betters human lives.

A clean-burning cookstove can be a life-changer for families, particularly women and girls.

OUR SOLUTION
Pathway to Prosperity
Our Pathway to Prosperity starts off by offering much needed, catalytic funding to local small businesses and entrepreneurs working across the clean cooking value chain, enabling them to innovate, expand, and grow. This economic development approach leads to sustained increases in access to clean cooking, which, in turn, uplifts the well-being of women, children, and communities. We sustain this cycle through ongoing reinvestment, ensuring a brighter future for all.
