Dear Radha Muthiah
Executive Director
Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves
With reference to Nat of World stove.
Just a question: Is this a business plan for US AID and US citizen or is it for
all of us around the world working for years with clan air cooking programs? We
do have the stoves and the knowledge but not the funding. Could you with simple
words tell us how we, not US citizen
can get funding from GACC for our project in developing countries?
