    Company Snapshot

    Eco-Fuel converts thousands of tons of agricultural waste into clean, inexpensive, cooking fuel for Africans. Today, the company works with over 2,500 farmers and a network of over 600 women retailers (who earn $150+ a month from retailing Eco-Fuel’s briquettes).

    The Impact on Girls

    Girls in East Africa spend upwards of 5 hours a day gathering fire wood for cooking fuel. Eco Fuel’s briquettes eliminate this need and ensure Girls don’t skip school to gather wood. Furthermore, Eco Fuel economically empowers marginalized mothers by turning them into micro-entrepreneurs. This enables them to on average triple their income which they use to send their daughters to school.
