[Stoves] Inyenyeri's business model in Rwanda

[Cookswell Jikos]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. This bit below especially caught my
interest. Can you elaborate more on how this system works? Any type of
wood? wet/dry etc? Do they have some type of long term forestry component
in the project as well do you know?

''Remarkably, Inyenyeri has come up with the way to serve even the poorest
of the rural poor, who have no money and gather their own wood. “We’ve all
seen the pictures of kids and women carrying bundles of sticks and
branches, wasting too many hours each week gathering cooking fuel for a
three-stone fire,” he says.

Not wanting to leave them out, Inyenyeri came up with a barter system under
which rural household provide the company with wood, the raw material for
its pellets. In return, they get stoves and pellets. These cashless
customers only have to collect about half as much wood as they used to
because the stove-pellet combination is so much more efficient than open
fires, according to Reynolds.;;
