As of Thursday March 18, 2010, GERES Cambodia has sold 1 Million improved cookstoves. GERES Country Director Iwan Baskoro writes:
The sales of NLS (the New Lao Stove) in Cambodia from the 10 May 2003 until 28 February 2010 reached 984,817 units. On Thursday 18 March 2010, we managed to sell the 1,000,000th improved cook stove. It is an achievement of GERES Cambodia, but let’s consider it as the achievement of ALL STOVERS in the world. We can prove that disseminating large numbers of improved cook stoves is not a dream anymore, but we can manage to make it into a reality. Let us celebrate! Then I would invite all stovers in the world to work harder, think bigger and set longer term visions. There are 2 billion people around us waiting to use ICS for their daily cooking. They have the right to use the ICS and we are obliged to fulfill their rights.
