Description: The project involves the distribution of bio-ethanol fuel improved cookstoves (ICS) and promotes its use for cooking purposes in the neighborhoods of Lingwala, a commune of Kinshasa in DRC, in Zambia and in Zimbabwe.
Co-Benefit: Improves heath and well-being. Better aesthetic, cleaner and more energy efficient than using wood fuel that consume high quantities of non-renewable woody biomass (charcoal & fuelwood). It reduces deforestation. Improves indoor air quality and reduces green-house-gas and particulate emissions released
into the atmosphere. Women are empowered and girls can go to school with reduced time to collect firewood. More energy efficient. Reduces deforestation.

Description: The project’s purpose is the disseminate Safe Water Supply (SWS) devices such as Institutional water treatment (IWT) and Household Water Treatment (HWT) technologies in domestic households and communities of west regions of Uganda, Africa. They are distributed to households consuming untreated water or were using the traditional and/or conventional cookstove using wood and/or charcoal to boil water.
Co-Benefit: Improve heath and well-being. Prevent waterborne illness. Improves indoor air quality and lessen GHG and particulate emissions released into the atmosphere. Women empowered and girls can go to school with reduced time to collect firewood. Affordable price for water, easy and cheaper access to water. More energy efficient. Reduces deforestation.
CO2 Benefit: Reduces green-house-gas emissions. Avoids emissions caused by the boiling of water collected from open sources and the burning of fuelwood.
Description: Farmers are paid for the carbon credits they generate from their sustainable land management practices through rotational grazing, cover cropping, reduced tillage, and other practices to improve soil quality with the aim at sequestering soil carbon and reducing cattle methane production.
Co-Benefit: Improves the livelhoods of small-scale farmers through better herding practices that allow for soil and grass regeneration, thereby allowing them to absorb carbon more easily from the atmosphere, and it is better for the health of cattle. Protection, conservation and sustainable use of resources (soil, water and biodiversity) and the restoration of degraded natural resources.
CO2 & Methane Benefit: Reduce emissions from biomass burning, biomass decomposition, and the breakdown of soil organic matter. Sequester carbon through practices that increase biomass production and promote the build-up of soil organic matter.

Co-Benefit: Improves heath and well-being. Better aesthetic, cleaner and more energy efficient than using wood fuel that consume high quantities of non-renewable woody biomass (charcoal & fuelwood). It reduces deforestation. Improves indoor air quality and reduces green-house-gas and particulate emissions released into the atmosphere. Women are empowered and girls can go to school with reduced time to collect firewood. More energy efficient. Reduces deforestation.
Description: The project involves distribution of bio-ethanol fuel cookstoves and promote its use for cooking purposes in households, and build the renewable fuel network infrastructure through repurposing existing oil tanks so that no household has to walk more than 200 metres to collect their renewable fuel source. KOKO enable distribution of high efficiency ethanol cookstoves and last-mile delivery of bio-ethanol fuel to the target customers through a network of fuel-ATMs (KOKOpoints) installed in local shops.
Co-Benefit: Improve heath and well-being, and indoor air quality. Better aesthetic, cleaner and more energy efficient than using traditional, unimproved cookstoves in open fire which consume high quantity of non-renewable woody biomass (charcoal & fuelwood). Improves indoor air quality and reduces the green-house-gas and particulate emissions released into the atmosphere. It reduces deforestation. Women are empowered and girls can go to school with reduced time to collect firewood. More energy efficient. Reduces deforestation.
