Bringing Gas Nearer to People

Offering a clean cooking energy solution to Ugandan communities
2014 SEED Africa Award Lauréat-e Clean Energy Kampala, Uganda

The business model is based on the innovative idea of selling a ‘clean cooking energy solution’ as a product, rather than LPG gas itself. The company offers families and businesses an alternative fuel source to charcoal or firewood, as well as selling add-ons like cook stoves and cylinders for refilling. 

WANA reaches predominantly lower socio-economic status communities: Customers can buy its products through hire purchase or on a credit scheme, making an otherwise unaffordable product accessible to more people.

Eco-Inclusive Impacts
The enterprise contributes to overall reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and also empowering rural Ugandan communities by breaking the financial barriers that many people face to using clean energy.
  • Offering a variety of financing models for lower socio-economic communities to access cleaner fuel.
  • Reducing household air pollution from charcoal or firewood burning.
  • Creating employment opportunities for rural women by training them to run a WANA franchise.
  • Cutting greenhouse gas emissions through substituting traditional energy sources like firewood and charcoal with LPG. 
  • Reducing deforestation for firewood and charcoal.

 

  • Creating fuel savings for return customers who can refill canisters at a lower cost than purchasing a new canister.
  • Offering jobs to women as franchisees to sell WANA’s products outside of the company’s main delivery areas.
