Climate action & Clean cooking Solution
We are proud to announce that we have already launched our Clean Cooking Program in partnership with Oryx Tanzania as of 14th September 2024. Through this impactful initiative, we have successfully supplied 300 gas kits to women street food vendors across various regions. By transitioning these vendors to clean cooking methods, we have significantly reduced environmental pollution, decreased reliance on traditional biomass fuels, and contributed meaningfully to the fight against climate change.This program is especially vital in a country like Tanzania, where only 6% of the population currently uses clean cooking energy. The majority still relies on traditional biomass fuels, which contribute to deforestation, indoor air pollution, and a host of health issues. Our initiative aligns with the global clean cooking agenda, emphasizing the urgent need to adopt cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions to protect both our environment and public health. The gas kits we have supplied not only reduce harmful emissions but also offer these vendors a safer, more efficient cooking method, enhancing their overall business operations and quality of life.
Building on this success, our goal is to scale up our efforts and supply 10,000 gas kits to street food vendors nationwide. We are committed to continuing our work to further reduce environmental degradation and support the transition to cleaner energy solutions.
Beyond the distribution of gas kits, our dedication to environmental conservation extends into the education sector. We conduct comprehensive environmental conservation training in schools, equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to understand and address the challenges of climate change. These training sessions cover a wide range of topics, including the importance of sustainability, the impact of human activities on the environment, and practical ways to reduce one’s carbon footprint.
In addition, we organize tree-planting activities as part of our broader environmental education efforts. These activities not only contribute to reforestation efforts but also serve as a hands-on learning experience for students, teaching them about the vital role trees play in combating climate change and promoting ecological balance. Through these initiatives, we aim to cultivate a generation of environmentally conscious individuals who are empowered to take action in their communities and beyond.
As we continue to expand this program, we are actively seeking further support from stakeholders, partners, and donors who share our vision of a cleaner, more sustainable future. Together, we can make a significant impact by reducing environmental degradation, promoting clean energy solutions, and fostering a culture of environmental stewardship.
