About this project

Uganda’s biomass fuel usage projections demonstrate the exponentially rising demand as the world tries to balance the scale of rapid deforestation and warming climate. It’s now or never for individuals and organizations to develop joint efforts to reverse climate change. With the intentions to contribute positively to the Environment the CME envisions to empower the Ugandan households with the dissemination of improved cookstoves and start transforming them into Sustainable Communities.
