Friends of the Needy In Uganda

Mission

Our mission is to reach rural needy communities to sensitize them about changing their behaviours in adapting a new system of using renewable energy which saves environment and life as well. We teach them how to use new improved stoves which saves a lot of gas other than using their traditional stoves which are very dangerous to their lives.

Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas

Social/Cultural barriers to using traditional fuels and stoves:

Well as much as we have cultural barriers in some areas these will not hinder our work; at all costs we have to educate people and save their lives and environment so that the world can be a better place.


Market development for improved cooking technologies:

When people are educated enough all of Uganda and its neighbouring countries are a potential market.


Technology standardization for cooking, heating and ventilation:

We have to go into these technologies when we enter the field of manufacturing the improved stoves.


Indoor air pollution exposure and health monitoring:

Monitoring will be done after we sentise and people adopt a new way to live in an improved health through using modern technology.
