Clean cooking for all
Inyenyeri's project focusses on a better and healthier way to cook in rural Rwanda to protect both the community and the planet at the same time.
Overview of the project
Cooking is the one form of energy every family must use every day, and it’s a huge source of time poverty, health impacts, and environmental degradation. We have created a solution that’s better for our health, and the climate, and costs less. And most importantly it’s available to everyone, even the rural poor.
Healthier lives, cooler planet.

organisation
Over three billion people cook everyday using dirty fuels like sticks, charcoal, and dung. It’s terrible for their health, and the environment, leading to deforestation and erosion. And collecting firewood puts women and girls at risk. Inyenyeri developed a better solution : Clean cooking fuel utility, available to all rich and poor
The best solution is an integrated Fuel+Stove system, designed around customer needs.
