The founder and chair of the Africa Women and Children Conference (AFRIWOCC), Mrs.
Samira Bawumia, has made a passionate appeal for urgent investments and inclusive solutions to address the global clean cooking crisis.
Speaking at the 2025 Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Global Forum in Barbados, she stressed the devastating impact of limited access to clean cooking solutions, emphasizing that the issue goes beyond numbers. "These statistics are not just numbers; they represent real lives-mothers, children, and families suffering daily due to a lack of access to clean cooking solutions. "This is a public health emergency, a climate challenge, and a gender equity issue.
We must address it with the urgency it demands," she stated.
