About this project

The programme of activities (PoA) is a voluntary initiative of EcoLinks Co. Ltd to distribute improved biomass cookstoves (ICS) and install safe water technologies/devices in Rwanda. The target beneficiaries of the clean cooking initiative under the programme will be the households in Rwanda which were earlier dependent on rudimentary stoves for preparing their meals. EcoLinks will ensure that an improved cooking technology distributed under the programme is accessible to all the end users covered under this PoA. The improved cookstoves will offer several environmental benefits such as reduction in the levels of indoor air pollution (IAP) thereby having a positive impact on the health of the community. The target beneficiaries of the safe water program under the PoA will be the households in Rwanda which have no access to safe drinking water and are dependent on unimproved water sources such as lakes, ponds, springs etc. Ecolinks seeks to install solar-powered public water facilities with smart tap distribution project in Rwanda. Safe water systems provide safe drinking water (along with water that can be used by the household for basic sanitation/hygiene) at affordable cost by replacing traditional cookstoves thereby eliminating the use of non-renewable biomass as fuel for boiling raw water in the baseline and thus reducing GHG emissions corresponding to the fuel saving by the project activity.
