Shell Foundation's Household Energy and Health ProjectsThe Shell Foundation works to tackle long-term social and environmental issues in which the energy industry has a particular role and responsibility. The Shell Foundation works to create strategic programmes that improve and empower local communities, and then share that expertise and experience across the developing world.The Breathe Easy campaign, which aims to reduce the health risks associated with Indoor Air Pollution for women and children in developing countries has invested several million dollars to fund pilot projects in six focus countries: India, Mexico, Guatemala, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Ghana. These projects aim to increase the demand for household energy solutions amongst poor households through social marketing, guaranteeing the supply of improved devices and fuels and providing consumer financing for poor households to purchase improved devices. A monitoring programme for stove performance, emissions, exposure and health assessment is also in place to provide standardised information on the results from all these projects. These website pages provide information about the pilot projects being implemented in India, Mexico, and Guatemala, and will bring further information about the Kenya, Ethiopia, and Ghana projects which are due to launch soon.
