Join us on a trip to Rwanda:
Our Marketing Communications Officer, Lisanne van Essen, departed to Rwanda in the past weeks. Together with Rwanda-based Project Manager, Evelien Lambooij, and accompanied by local filming and photography company, Arthur Nation Ltd, they explored various locations. 🇷🇼
FairClimateFund, BioMassters, Mimi Moto, BIX Capital and TRAIDE Foundation, together have formed the partnership ‘Partners in Pellets’. This partnership has a clean cooking project set up, using pellets and Tier-4 gas stoves. The pellets are made from waste materials, such as sawdust. The materials are compressed into small cylinders. The pellet market and the use of clean cookstoves help households of various income levels and SMEs, such as small restaurants.
👨👩👧👧In Kigali, interviews were conducted with 4 households and 1 restaurant owner regarding the benefits of clean cooking. The women emphasized that pellet cooking is significantly safer and more cost-effective.
🏬They also visited Biomasssters Store, our local partner, where households can obtain pellet stoves and cooking pellets, and where cooking demonstrations are regularly held.
👩🏭In Gisenyi, they visited a pellet factory where local sawdust is transformed into cylinders for cooking pellets, promoting job opportunities and supporting a circular economy.
Throughout the trip, Arthur Nation captured valuable content that the marketing team can utilize across all communication channels.
