Fuel-Efficient Stove Cooperative Buying & Installation Service
A locally-assembled, open-source rocket stove design optimized for East African kitchens, sold as a complete kit (stove body, grates, chimney, installation hardware) via a cooperative buying group. The co-op aggregates demand from 30-50 food centers, negotiates bulk manufacturing, and provides trained installation + 6-month performance guarantee.

Commercial food centers in developing regions struggle with unsustainable fuel costs eating into profit marginsFood service businesses in Uganda and similar markets face escalating expenses from traditional cooking fuel, directly reducing profitability and competitiveness. Current solutions like standard stoves are inefficient and expensive to operate, forcing owners to either raise prices (losing customers) or absorb losses. Eco-stove alternatives exist but lack awareness, accessible financing, and trusted local distribution channels.
