Update: TBBC participated in a conference on alternative fuels and energy technologies in humanitarian settings.
At the conference ‘Beyond Firewood – Exploring alternative fuels and energy technologies in humanitarian settings", TBBC presented an overview of its supply of cooking fuels to the border camps since 1995 until today. The conference was organised by the Women’s Refugee Commission 11-12 December in New Delhi, and addressed the issue of women's and girls' vulnerability to gender-based violence as they collect firewood in humanitarian settings. The development of alternative sources of cooking fuel can help reduce the potential for attack, as well as it can help promote livelihood activities, a better environment and health for displaced people.
