It’s high time we correct the misinformation around Clean Cooking while promoting experiential learning for the future generations.

[Clean Cooking Unit @CCUMEMD]

This afternoon, the CCU is proudly participating in today’s Clean Cooking Cook-Off at St. Kizito High School, Namugongo.

Together with partners @IRENA and CIGS, we are showcasing evidence-based, practical demonstrations on modern clean cooking technologies: electric, LPG, improved biomass and solar-aided solutions.

This is more than a competition. It is an opportunity to correct misinformation, engage young people and inspire a shift toward safer, healthier and more sustainable cooking solutions for Uganda.

💡 Clean cooking is the future.
👩🏽‍🍳 And today, we’re showing why.

[Mbuya 2 Community Development Network @Mbuya2Network]

Briquettes and clean cooking stoves are climate-smart solutions powering the shift to renewable energy. They reduce indoor air pollution, energy costs and cut toxic emissions proving that clean energy can be local, affordable, and sustainable.

We saw another amazing thing , students making their own furniture using construction waste like old plywood!
Talk about resourcefulness, sustainability, and hands-on skills.
These are life skills that go beyond the classroom.

Thank you @Fridays4FutureU for dropping by @stkizitoschools for a study tour. Our gates are always open for fellow climate champions.

[Fridays For Future Uganda @Fridays4FutureU]

Today, our mentees from the #YouthClimateMentorshipProgram engaged in an onsite learning session at St. Kizito High School, Namugongo—a pioneer in climate education! 

This school has fully integrated #ClimateEducation into its curriculum, empowering students to lead in sustainability. From repurposing plastics to clean energy production, hydroponics, and urban gardening, these young changemakers are proving that a #CircularEconomy is possible.

A shining example for all Ugandan institutions! #EnvironmentallyConsciousGeneration #ClimateMentorship

Thank you to the incredible GYCT team and the amazing @youth_energysum host team from @EnergyNet_Ltd for making this such a success. This was more than a workshop because it became a mini summit of its own.#yes2025 #JustTransition #AvocadoFramework

[Kakembo Brian @BryanKaks]

Just wrapped up an incredible workshop in Cape Town at the 2025 @youth_energysum 🇿🇦⚡
I had the honour of facilitating a session titled “AVOCADO Framework: Developing a Strategy for the Just Transition,” organized by the @TheglobalyouthC in partnership with @TheSmithSchool

[Kakembo Brian @BryanKaks]

Representing the Global Youth Climate Training (GYCT), I was blown away by level of energy, ideas, and passion we received. With nearly 90 participants, our simulation game tackled the Just Transition from the perspectives of government, private sector, and local communities.
