After the flood in Ladakh (Indian Himalayas), GERES prepares for the reconstruction step. In remote villages, access is still cut, but our teams are at disposal to assist local partners and residents.Yesterday, GERES has participated in a meeting with local government, international and local NGOs to develop a strategy, regarding the context, the level of damage, the availability and cost of land, to define where buildings will be temporary or permanent.

One million units in Cambodia

7 years after making the first model for an efficient cookstove that was cheap and accessible to all people in this impoverished country, GERES announced that over a million units of its New Lao Stove have been sold in Cambodia, the homeland of the project.
The NLS is a small stove that has a big impact in many sectors. As an added value product, NLS production develops the local economy; its high energy efficiency reduces the consumption of biomass (wood and charcoal) and thus helps to reduce deforestation in Cambodia; and its lower gas emissions reduce indoor air pollution and global warming. The low cost of the NLS (about 4 U.S. dollars) makes it accessible to families from all income levels.
