We’re kicking off our first crowdfunding effort ever!
Please consider helping us build in rural Uganda a solid biomass energy efficiency and renewable fuels program for school community with 1,600 schoolchildren!
Today we begin posting the first of a dozen paper’s presented in June at a symposium in Arusha, Tanzania, on Sustainable Charcoal. The event, co-organized by The Charcoal Project, heralded the launch of a year-long initiative that will culminate in an International Conference on Charcoal and Solid Biomass in 2012.
Today’s topic focuses on the absence of reliable data on woodfuel and charcoal use from a national and global perspective.
Hot Tip: this is sure to be a top-shelf priority at next year’s conference!
A ransom note from the kidnappers of our website and our director….
A fundamental reason why improved cookstoves aren’t more widely in use in Africa is that small and medium-sized energy businesses lack access to finance. Without investment or backing, small and medium-sized energy enterprises are staying just that: small.
Born to a very poor family, orphaned at a young age, Henry Twinemasiko is providing hope and education to 1,650 schoolchildren in this remote corner of Uganda.
Henry’s next mission is to bring clean-burning biomass fuels and green technology to the schools and the community’s 15,000 inhabitants.
At The Charcoal Project we are proud and humbled to be Henry’s partner.
