Next time you switch on your oven or gas cooker, please remember, that schools in Uganda are still using 3-stone fires to cook all children meals.
Simoshi's carbon credits are now available on the United Nations carbon offset platform, and you can easily use their calculator to know how many tons of CO2 you should offset.
By offsetting your carbon footprint through the purchase of a carbon credit generated by Simoshi's project activity "Institutional Improved Cook Stoves for Schools and Institutions in Uganda", you are supporting a school in several ways. To name a few, they reduce by 50% their firewood purchases - saving an average of USD 800 per school year, while also reducing by half the smoke generated from the firewood combustion. Your contribution guarantees that Simoshi repairs/maintains all installed institutional improved cook stoves for free for the next 5 years, to ensure all benefits are enjoyed while a positive transformation in behavior is achieved in the kitchen environment.
