Today we celebrate an amazing milestone, as we make 9 years since our first institutional improved cook stove (IICS) was installed.
Gangu Muslim Primary School was the first school to join our Project Activity. And since then (like all other schools under our carbon finance programme) they have been successfully saving at least 50% of firewood when compared to their old 3-stone fireplaces.
This would have never happened without the sale of the carbon credits that are generated by the changes in the schools’ cooking practices, and the kitchen environment.
With the revenue accrued from the sale of the carbon credits, we have been able to repair those IICS in use for the past 9 years, for free, every single year! It is a wonderful day to celebrate such effective monitoring approach and collaboration from all those involved in the school kitchens that make such achievement a tangible success.
