Wonderbag increases the disposable income of families by saving them money normally spent on cooking fuel, with one bag used regularly typically providing fuel savings of up to 70 percent. With families saving money on electricity and fuel, they can use this extra money to purchase food, grow their savings, start their own business, and improve their standard of living.
In addition to the money saved by the end users of Wonderbag, the production of our bags creates jobs in communities. Our two Centres of Excellence provide jobs, and Wonderbag works with women entrepreneurs in communities to develop factory and sewing collectives that produce Wonderbags and provide women with paid work.
Wonderbag actively promotes a sustainable business model by rewarding everyone involved from production to end-user, thereby doing our best to help reduce poverty in each community in which we operate.

A study carried out by Energy Management Solutions (EMS) found that each Wonderbag used regularly can save a family up to 70 percent of the money spent on cooking fuel, and give users back up to 1,000 unpaid hours normally spent cooking.
As a result, families can use these cost savings to buy more food and use their freed-up time to grow vegetables or earn additional income. Furthermore, by increasing access to low-cost slow cooking, Wonderbag improves the likelihood of children receiving warm and nutritious food each day, thereby reducing their chances of hunger and malnutrition.

The WHO recently announced that 2.6 billion people still cook using polluting open fires or simple stoves. As a result, each year close to 4 million people die prematurely from illness attributable to household air pollution from inefficient cooking practices.
Our verified user data highlights that cooking with a Wonderbag helps to reduce the amount of cooking fuel consumed by up to 70 percent, and reduce exposure to indoor air pollution by up to 60 percent. By reducing exposure to harmful smoke from cooking, Wonderbag is helping families improve their health and reduce the possibility of illness or death from indoor air pollution.

Across Africa, studies show that women and girls spend three times longer than men on unpaid work such as cooking and household chores. Additional findings highlight that the number of girls who do at least two hours of unpaid work each day almost doubles after they reach the age of 15 - time that could be spent at school, in employment, or setting up their own business.
Our ‘Coalition of Good’ study in Ghana found that that one Wonderbag used regularly can give these women back up to 1,000 unpaid hours each year. Using a Wonderbag not only saves time on cooking, it reduces the time spent collecting firewood, with our data showing that the amount of cooking fuel required is cut by up to 70 percent.
With all these extra hours, Wonderbag provides women and girls with greater access to education. With better education, women and girls in lesser developed countries become better informed and have the ability to live a more empowered life.
