social business charter focused on providing a healthy renewable energy

Rwandan households have access to clean cooking fuel and high quality gasifying
cook stoves. Inyenyeri’s revenue stream is derived from the sale of biomass
cooking fuel pellets. Our solution is a cleaner, healthier, faster, cheaper and
more sustainable alternative to charcoal and wood cooking.
