Talk title: Lessons from smoky kitchens: Unveiling the hidden burden from wood-fuelled cooking in sub-Saharan African schools Abstract: In 90% of sub-Saharan African schools, meals are prepared on polluting wood stoves, posing a major health risk to staff and learners. Our latest research from schools in Rwanda and Kenya has found dangerously high levels of air pollution from wood-fuelled cooking, highlighting serious health concerns for millions of school populace. Using clean fuels like LPG and electricity in schools, as recommended by the WHO, can protect cooks, children, and the environment. Our global health research partnership calls for urgent action to accelerate the transition to clean cooking in schools and aims to support such transitions with impact evidence (health, education and environment) that can inform policy on the most effective solutions. Speaker: Dr. Esther Kalkman is a health and environmental scientist and a postdoctoral researcher at the NIHR CLEAN-Air (Africa) Global Health Research Unit.
About CLEAN-Air(Africa) The NIHR CLEAN-Air(Africa) Global Health Research Unit is a collaboration of international experts in environmental public health from the UK, Kenya, Cameroon, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. The partnership implements research, health systems strengthening, and capacity-building activities across the five focus countries with the explicit objective to address the health burden from household and institutional air pollution from reliance on polluting solid fuels (e.g., wood, charcoal, coal, and biomass) and kerosene. CLEAN-Air(Africa) aims to provide policy-relevant evidence to raise population awareness of the issue and to support prevention through the transition to clean fuels and energy for cooking.
CLEAN-Air(Africa): Main Aims To facilitate transition for vulnerable communities and public institutions to clean cooking to address health, environment, climate and gender impacts from reliance on polluting fuels. To evaluate chronic and hidden additional health burdens from household air pollution that can be addressed through clean cooking. To advocate for disease prevention from reductions in air pollution through national clinical and community health systems strengthening. Investing in the future; to develop a sub-Saharan African Air Pollution Centre of Excellence through capacity building, training and investment. Maximising impact through community and stakeholder engagement.
Key activities under CLEAN-Air(Africa) The Unit builds on research, capacity and health systems strengthening initiated under the NIHR CLEAN-Air(Africa) Global Health Research Group in Cameroon, Kenya and Ghana. The Group was launched in 2018 and has achieved significant impact since this time in three key areas to address the global public health burden from reliance on polluting solid fuels and kerosene for household energy. Exposure to household air pollution: Using state of the art monitoring equipment to quantify adult and child health impacts from exposure to air pollution from cooking with polluting fuels. Transition to clean cooking: Identifying and addressing barriers to cooking with clean fuels. Informing clean energy policy in sub-Saharan Africa. Strengthening health systems: Training clinical and community health workforces in primary and secondary prevention of household air pollution.

Wow - fascinating! 😮 can't wait to visit!
JRR Tolkien used to do this throughout his life too (mostly for fun) and that's how we have 2 types of Elvish, Dwarfish and probably a bunch of other languages we're forgetting that he invented for Lord of the Rings.
🎉 It was fantastic to welcome partners from some truly inspirational organisations from across the Liverpool city region to a Third Sector networking event this week.
We hope the event was useful in building connections within the sector. It's a pleasure to work with you! ❤️

🗣️ “I have loved my career, my colleagues and most importantly the students I have met over the years. I pray you look back after 35 years with as many joyful memories and the same sense of privilege that I very much feel looking back now.”
👩⚕️ From living in Cedar House as a student nurse to joining the School of Medicine years later as one of the founding members of Clinical Skills, Vicky Bond has a whole lot of history with us and heaps to take pride in as she retires this week after three decades of service to our school community.
