The Washington Global Health Fund (WGHF) awarded two grants to two Washington-based companies. $120,000 was granted to BURN Design Lab. The funding will help in developing an even lower-cost charcoal stove, making fuel-efficient stoves available over the next 10 years to 5 million more people at the bottom of the bottom of the pyramid in East Africa. $50,000 was granted to PRONTO International, to help in producing kits for conducting high-fidelity, low-cost simulation and team trainings for obstetric and neonatal emergencies.
