Towards the end of 2020, Geres undertook renovation and insulation work in Tajikistan. The aim: improving the thermal comfort of vulnerable households whose poverty has been exacerbated by the pandemic. The operation can now be counted as a success, thanks to the exceptional funding granted by the Abb\u00e9 Pierre Foundation.<\/p>\n

Carried out from September to December 2020, the project to reduce the energy poverty of vulnerable households impacted by the COVID19 crisis in Tajikistan was initially set up on the basis of work already done by Geres in Tajikistan<\/a>. So the teams were in a position to get help quickly to the households.<\/p>\n In advance of the renovations, 11 training courses on thermal renovation were organized according to the site-school model and attended by 107 people, including 13 artisans. Apart from active awareness-raising, Geres hopes that the techniques learned during training will enable participants to earn additional income in future.<\/p>\n Although it is still hard to measure the health impacts of the COVID19 crisis in Tajikistan, the project has nevertheless helped to improve local awareness of the disease and the need for preventative measures and other action to reduce the spread of the epidemic.<\/p>\n To learn more about the project’s history, see also<\/u>: <\/em><\/a>Geres and the Abb\u00e9 Pierre Foundation step up to help 100 families affected by the crisis in Tajikistan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n More widely, this operation served to improve the winter comfort of 94 extremely vulnerable households in two rural districts, while enhancing their income by reducing fuel expenditure. The evaluation study conducted by Geres showed that the average annual saving on heating was 570 Tajikistani Somoni (\u20ac41), i.e. just over one month’s income!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/geres-test.preprod-securite-bastille2.ovh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Renovation-energetique-foyers-vulnerables-Tadjikistan-covid19.png” alt=”Energy retrofitting vulnerable households Tajikistan covid19″ title_text=”Energy retrofitting vulnerable households Tajikistan covid19″ _builder_version=”4.7.7″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.7″ custom_margin=”||3px|||” custom_padding=”0px|0px|12px|0px||” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_option_url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/em>When questioned, 33% of the Tajik residents reported feeling more warmth and greater comfort in their homes. And 67% replied that they were “a lot warmer”.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n With a 10-year guarantee on double-glazed windows and 20 years on insulation, the lifetime of the renovations is expected to be a minimum of 10 years, providing long-term benefits for the households.<\/p>\n Overall, 96% of the households say they have also noticed an improvement in indoor air quality and associate this benefit with a reduction in health problems (chills, flu, coughs especially in children, joint pains, etc.).<\/p>\n It should not be forgotten that, in Tajikistan, women unfortunately still bear the main burden of supplying and maintaining heating.<\/p>\n Amongst those surveyed, 40% agreed that the operation specifically benefits women and children, because they are responsible for the household and\/or stay in their houses for comparatively longer periods.<\/p>\n Thanks to the renovation and thermal insulation work, household fuel consumption has fallen by an average of 43% for charcoal, 38% for wood and 35% for dung (the energy mix traditionally used in the project areas). Great news!<\/p>\n Find out more about Geres activities in Tajikistan <\/a><\/p>\n With regard to the use of wood, the decrease has also led to a genuine reduction in uncontrolled fuelwood collection with a consequently positive effect on deforestation in Tajikistan.<\/p>\n The same goes for carbon dioxide emissions. As a result of the reduction in beneficiary households’ energy consumption, we anticipate a fall in CO2<\/sub> emissions to 2.3 t\/year per household, which amounts to 2000 tonnes over a lifetime.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/geres-test.preprod-securite-bastille2.ovh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Renovation-energetique-maisons-familles-tadjikistan-Geres-Fondation-Abbe-Pierre.png” alt=”Energy renovation houses families Tajikistan Geres Abb\u00e9 Pierre Foundation” title_text=”Energy renovation houses families Tajikistan Geres Abb\u00e9 Pierre Foundation” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Presently, given the impact seen and its relevance beyond the context of a health emergency, Geres is hoping to scale up its work on renovation of existing buildings.<\/p>\n In addition to replicating this kind of operation in a larger geographical area, our teams are also planning to diversify, introducing other housing improvement solutions as well as thermal insulation.
