Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas

Social/Cultural barriers to using traditional fuels and stoves:

Our people in the region take things easily and when called for training they may come but when it comes to contributing for training tools they say they are very poor and it is true this region in Uganda has been left behind in economic issues. So, we find that we need to have partners who can stand with our organization to get training materials and even some funds that can help us to run our activities.


Market development for improved cooking technologies:

We are just very new in the business and we are just looking forward to training our people first. The market would be there, however our people mostly the widows and single mothers which is our target group, have no money to buy these cooking panels and their income is very low .


Technology standardization for cooking, heating and ventilation:

We needed the idea of cooking using appropriate technology and we are now working to see that we can assemble a sun box cooker and thermal cooker. It was very beneficial for us to be at the PCIA Forum ('09).
God bless you.


Indoor air pollution exposure and health monitoring:

The organization has a good working team that can have an every day monitoring report and update us on the progress of the activities /projects.
