GenteGas is the first social enterprise to offer market-based affordable gas stoves to low-income families exposed to toxic levels of wood smoke. We deploy community sales agents to sell gas stoves and provide education about avoiding household air pollution for a healthier and safer environment. We sell clean burning and reliable LPG stoves via community sales agents that are trained through a co
mmunity engagement program that teaches entrepreneurship, empowerment and leadership. The recruitment model identifies, engages, and trains community sales agents. GenteGas offers the stove, tank, tubing, and regulator in a single affordable package along with the ability to finance the entire package for 12 months. GenteGas also offers community education and maintains a partnership with the local municipalities in which it works to provide free pressure cooker cooking classes, which include consumer safety and health education topics. These classes are currently supported in four municipalities through the local Office of the Woman.
