Julia Roberts announced as Catapult curator


26 09 2013

Julia Roberts has been announced as the newest curator for Catapult, Gucci Chime for Change's crowdfunding partner, and has selected three cooking-based projects to feature on her page (www.

catapult.org/team/julia-roberts). Each project aims to help create a market for clean cookstoves and fuels to reduce the impact of harmful cooking smoke. Roberts, who serves as the Global Ambassador of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, commented 'When I learned that the seemingly simple act of cooking is a death sentence for 4 million people each year, mostly among women and children in developing countries, I had to act'. She joins fellow curators Beyoncé Knowles and Halle Berry.
