Installation of Panda Cookers inSchools in Karagwe
This clean energy initiative project in Karagwe District, which supports the installation of fuel-efficient Panda Cookers in secondary schools and institutions such as Rugu, Nyakasimbi, Kajunguti, and Rwambaizi among others. Many schools rely on traditional cooking methods that consume large amounts of firewood and expose students and staff to harmful smoke. Panda Cookers significantly reduce firewood use while producing minimal emissions, creating a healthier and safer cooking environment. This initiative helps lower pressure on local forests, reduce carbon emissions, and cut fuel costs for schools. By promoting clean cooking solutions in learning institutions, the project supports environmental conservation, improved health, and more sustainable school operations for the long term.
