Rotarians Colin Shurrock and Caroline Bowler have visted projects in Nepal.
Bristol Breakfast Rotary Club is actively involved in international projects, notably partnering with the Rotary Club of Pokhara Fishtail to introduce electric cooking in Nepal. This initiative aims to reduce health risks from indoor smoke pollution by replacing wood-burning stoves, supported by District Grants.
Key aspects of the partnership include:
- Electric Cooking Project: The project focuses on transitioning households to electric induction cooking, which has been shown to be a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to firewood or LPG in Nepal.
- Health and Environmental Impact: The project aims to improve indoor air quality and reduce the health issues caused by smoke pollution.
- Collaboration: The project is a joint effort between the Bristol Breakfast Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Pokhara Fishtail in Nepal.
- 2024 Achievements: In 2024, the club reported the distribution of single-hob electric cookers in Pokhara and provided educational sponsorships for students in Nepal.
The Bristol Breakfast Rotary Club is known for its focus on local and international service, with a particular interest in sustainability and community development.
