Clean energy transformation at Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement
“Immediately after the stoves were installed, new arrivals entered the refugee settlement, and two mothers among them gave birth. Because of the easy access to clean fuel, it was very easy to fix quick meals and access warm water to bathe the newborn babies.” 🙌
RedR UK Trainer Annet Nsiimire used her microgrant to provide clean energy in Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement, South-western Uganda. Clean energy liberates women and girls from the dangerous daily labour of collecting firewood, which exposes them to harm and degrades the environment.
In this video, sent us by our partners at CEDAT, Makerere University, Reception Assistant Enock Isiko from NGO Alight at the Mahani Refugee Reception Center explain how the new stoves work, providing clean energy to cook meals for residents with special health issues.
