Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas
There is no cultural barrier on the dissemination of ICS. Since most of the people are not educated, they are not aware of indoor air pollution and its connection with health hazards. The people are also not aware of climate change issues.
Somokal Charitable Foundation is creating a market for ICS through awareness building activities, like holding meetings, distributing leaflets and posters, and showing films.
Somokal Charitable Foundation is following GIZ and SZ. GIZ has standardized ICS.
Monitoring is done by Somokal Charitable Foundation itself
