Stakeholders are speaking.

Community leaders are highlighting how clean cooking technologies are improving lives less smoke, less firewood, more time.

Insight from the field matters. @IOM_Uganda @FoundationIkea @MastercardFdn @Welthungerhilfe

Small spaces can power big change.

From income generation to nutrition and Climate Smart Agriculture is proving that scalable solutions don’t need big land, just the right support. @theIRC @FoundationIkea @MastercardFdn @Heifer @Welthungerhilfe

[RAISING GABDHO @RGabdho]

Voices from the Flexible Mechanism Project matter.

Beneficiaries share how energy-efficient cookstoves are reducing firewood use, cutting smoke, and saving time.

What stands out most is not just the technology but the change in daily experience @IOM_Uganda @MastercardFdn

Celebrating Water & Environment Week

At RGF, we’re advancing clean energy and sustainable solutions in communities like Nakivale protecting natural resources while improving livelihoods and resilience.

Climate action must be local, practical, and inclusive.

[RAISING GABDHO @RGabdho]

Clean energy is transforming daily life in Nakivale.

Through integrated energy kits efficient cookstoves + solar lighting families are reducing firewood use, improving health, and increasing safety at home.

A simple solution with real impact.

[RAISING GABDHO @RGabdho]

From awareness to action 🔥

RGF has supported 140 households in Nakivale with clean energy kits combining Tier 4 cookstoves, solar lighting, and efficient cooking solutions.

Reducing firewood use, improving health, and strengthening climate resilience in communities.

[RAISING GABDHO @RGabdho]

Preparing communities for the shift to clean energy goes beyond equipment it requires awareness and confidence.

Through the Flexible Mechanism Project, RGF is engaging households in Nakivale with demonstrations on clean cooking and solar solutions.

Energy poverty is a protection issue. UNHCR notes firewood collection exposes women & girls to safety risks.

In Nakivale, 69% of households reported reduced fuel collection time after improved stoves.
Energy access must be part of gender protection — not just infrastructure.

[RAISING GABDHO @RGabdho]

Household air pollution is a major but overlooked health risk. WHO links it to 3.2M premature deaths yearly.

In Nakivale, improved stoves show impact: 53% less smoke, 92% no health issues reported. Clean cooking = preventive health infrastructure in fragile settings.

[RAISING GABDHO @RGabdho]

Clean cooking is also a forest governance issue.

From the PDM under the Flexible Mechanism project, 73% of households reported reduced fuel use after adopting improved cookstoves.

At scale, this reduces pressure on surrounding forests not just household costs.

[RAISING GABDHO @RGabdho]

Clean cooking in displacement settings isn’t a tech problem it’s an investment gap.
Our Nakivale PDM shows:
• 94% of households used the improved stove
• 86% remain active users

People are ready to transition. What’s missing is long-term financing beyond one-off aid.
