What is Fuel for the Future?
Fuel for the Future is a small business located in Uganda at the Kyaka II refugee settlement west of Kampala. Home to approximately 30,000 refugees from Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan, this settlement faces a critical shortage of firewood for cooking and basic needs.
In response to this, Pastor Godfrey Byaruhanga, a Ugandan living near the settlement developed a biochar briquetting product which uses locally grown biomass (banana leaves, bean straw, corn stover, sorghum).
Economic Impact- Environmental Impact
- Social Impact
We are raising capital to aid in the development of the small business. The finances will be utilized in a number of different ways. Firstly, the money will be used to purchase a truck to transport the product to and from selling locations. Secondly, the money will be put towards a building to store the machines and final product for year round production. Lastly, any additional resources will be used for working capital, office requirements, and production equipment.
