World Food Day and Cleaner Cooking: Merciport’s Commitment to Sustainable Energy in Underserved Communities On World Food Day, we often focus on what we eat and its impact on our health and the environment. But equally important is how we cook our food. For millions of people across Nigeria, cooking remains a hazardous task due to the continued reliance on solid fuels like wood, charcoal, and kerosene. These traditional methods not only harm the environment but also contribute to severe respiratory health issues, especially for women and children who spend a significant amount of time cooking indoors. In many underserved areas of Nigeria, families face significant barriers to accessing clean energy for cooking. Traditional methods of cooking with wood or charcoal are not only time-consuming but contribute heavily to deforestation and carbon emissions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 4 million people die each year from illnesses linked to household air pollution caused by solid fuels. This staggering statistic highlights the urgent need for cleaner cooking solutions, which LPG can provide. World Food Day is the perfect moment to highlight the importance of making this transition. As we celebrate the importance of nutrition and food security, we must also consider how clean energy sources like LPG can improve the way we prepare food and protect both our health and our environment. Our work in underserved areas has already begun to make a tangible difference: Healthier Homes: By transitioning to LPG, households are now cooking without the harmful smoke and toxins that cause respiratory illnesses. This is especially important for women and children, who spend long hours in the kitchen. Environmental Protection: The use of LPG reduces deforestation by minimizing the need for wood and charcoal. This not only protects our forests but also contributes to Nigeria’s broader climate goals by reducing carbon emissions. Economic Savings: LPG is a cost-effective alternative to solid fuels. By using LPG, families save money that would otherwise be spent on more expensive and less efficient fuels, enabling them to reallocate resources toward other necessities. As we commemorate World Food Day, we at Merciport reaffirm our commitment to making clean cooking accessible for all. We recognize that clean energy plays a vital role in ensuring that every family can prepare nutritious meals in a safe, sustainable way. By providing affordable access to LPG, we are empowering communities to make the shift towards healthier and more efficient cooking. Our vision for the future is clear: we aim to expand our reach, bringing LPG to even more underserved regions across Nigeria. We will continue to work closely with local communities to build awareness, offer training on safe LPG use, and ensure that clean cooking is the norm, not the exception. #WorldFoodDay #CleanCooking #LPGForAll #MerciportCares #SustainableEnergy #CommunityImpact
