Even in the case of Grameen Bank, women have been bulk of their clients. I sincerely believe that is the reason why the scheme has worked so sucessfully. Thus I was not also surprised to hear Priyadarshini saying we don't need it in India. Now to the question. In theory it should work for any stove design.
Micro credit is a neat way of providing it.
There are several bugs in the system. That would be too large a group for peer pressure to work. Thus grameen bank loans are negotiated to small groups of women - I have heard a number of five. For the builder this is too small a group. Thus several such groups need to be put together.
