Welcome to the 2024 Impact Report. As an organization, we want women in the developing world to live better, healthier lives through improved access to cleaner-burning cookstoves. The value and importance of this work is reflected through the tangible, positive impact our clean cookstoves make every day.

Thanks to our incredible community of support, in 2024 the positive impact of our cookstove projects reached families, homes, schools, and places of work across the world. We are honored and grateful to share that impact with you today.

2024 Impact Report

Thanks to the dedicated support of individuals and organizations, our work has already contributed to the improvement of women’s health and wellbeing in over five million households. In our renewed Strategic Vision and Plan, we aspire to impact another ten million households by the end of 2035. BDL and our partners will focus on high impact, scalable cookstove designs and manufacturing systems to accomplish this. However, 2025 has started off as a challenging year for a lot of individuals and organizations across the globe. BDL is looking to create a more sustainable revenue stream, allowing us to be more resilient to external pressures while continuing our mission to improve lives. In order to accomplish these aspirational targets and best position ourselves for continued growth and success, BDL needs support from our donors and foundations to bridge the gap in 2025.
