(Adnkronos) - Meloni“Il programma ha un obiettivo specifico: fornire alle donne della favela della grande capitale di Maputo, un dispositivo, cioè un fornelletto migliorato che da un lato arrivi a consumare meno combustibile e dall'altro emetta meno fumi tossici che vanno a intaccare la salute dell'apparato respiratorio, la pelle, gli occhi e quindi migliorare le condizioni della donna” ha detto Padre Giuseppe Meloni, direttore generale dell'Istituto Superiore Don Bosco a Maputo, Mozambico, all'opening della mostra Eni dal titolo “FE&L Food Energy & Life” dedicata al “Clean Cooking Program: cibo, energia e salute” presso il MAXXI - Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo di Roma.

00:00The programme has a specific aim, which is to provide women, especially mothers of the
00:15favela, of the great capital of Maputo, with an improved stove that, on the one hand,
00:26consumes less fuel, that is, less vegetable carbon, and on the other hand, it emits less
00:34toxic fumes that affect the health of the respiratory system, the skin, the eyes, which
00:42burns the eyes a lot, etc., and therefore improve the conditions of the woman in her
00:48cooking, shorten the time of the woman in having to go and look for the fuel, that is,
00:59the vegetable carbon or, in other cases, the wood, make her practice faster, not to lose
01:08all day and, above all, save, save in monetary terms, because most women in
01:18the favela buy a pyramid, a mountain of vegetable carbon on a daily basis, which she then uses to
01:28cook and cannot afford to buy a bag, for example, a large bag of full carbon
01:36costs 25% of the minimum wage, which not everyone has, among other things. First of all, it is necessary to praise
01:44the choice made right from the start, also by Eni, which finances and keeps the project alive,
01:51which is to make a free distribution, because even if we had put a symbolic cost,
01:59this would have prevented many women from being able to buy it, not because they did not appreciate it, it was not
02:08good and, in perspective, there was also a return on the investment made in terms of savings,
02:15etc., but for the fact that they did not have the money to buy it at the time,
02:24so the free distribution makes it much easier, but what makes the reception much faster,
02:31much more immediate, is that those who distribute these crafts door-to-door in the favela
02:39are the boys and girls of the place.
