The Challenge

Every day, more than 3 billion people cook over an open fire jeopardizing their health, causing widespread deforestation and burdening women and girls with hours of unpaid labor. Click on the video to learn more.

The Solution

The Wonderbag is a simple but revolutionary non-electric slow cooker. After bringing a pot of food to the boil and placing it in a Wonderbag, the food will continue cooking for up to 8 hours without an additional energy source, so the pot spends a fraction of time on the fire or stove. Wonderbag reduces the cooking time by up to 70%. This saves money, time, and labour. Wonderbags transform women's lives, acting as a catalyst to build resilient communities.

How Wonderbag Cooking Works

The Power Of One Wonderbag
In One Year

Up to 70% less fuel needed to cook

Up to 1 ton carbon emissions mitigated

60% less indoor air pollution

1,000 hours diverted from unpaid labor

1,000 litres cooking water spared

5 large trees saved from deforestation

Climate Impact

Cooking can impact climate change. With a Wonderbag, women burn one bundle of wood per week for cooking instead of every day. If 100 million families cooked with Wonderbags they could save almost 8% of the global CO2 reductions needed every year to keep the planet under a 2 degree Celsius temperature rise. If 500 million families used a Wonderbag, they could save 39% of the annual global carbon that needs to be eliminated in each of the next 10 years.
