Project Breathe Clean Air Abuja is proving that access to clean cooking energy can do far more than replace traditional fuels as it can improve public health, protect the environment and transform lives. Through a partnership between the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and IHS Nigeria, the initiative has provided 10,000 households with LPG cylinders while generating scientific evidence that cleaner cooking significantly improves indoor air quality and reduces exposure to harmful pollutants, particularly among women and children.
