About the Project

Driving behavior change and improving public perception by encouraging households to transition from traditional fuels such as firewood and charcoal to safer, cleaner LPG solutions. This is achieved through targeted training and sensitization programs across five key regions in Ghana: Greater Accra, Ashanti, Volta, Eastern, and Western.

We strengthen community confidence in LPG by addressing safety concerns and correcting misconceptions. Our programs open new opportunities for communities while empowering women through clean cooking solutions that save time and effort.
