ABOUT USWe are a spin-off from the BEIA project which was implemented by

the Centre for Research in Energy and Energy Conservation

(CREEC) based at Makerere University in 2011. We produce TLUD

gasifier stoves that employ the process of pyrolysis to cleanly burn

dry biomass fuels and make charcoal as a byproduct that can be

used for further cooking or sold off.

Awamu is a Luganda word with means Together.

TARGET MARKETWe target 500,000 households in rural and peri-urban communities

of Uganda that use firewood for cooking.

VALUE PROPOSITIONAwamu Stoves cook faster than traditional 3-stone stoves, are 90%

smokeless, save time and make charcoal for households thereby

reducing exposure to indoor emissions, reducing firewood

collection and allowing for more productive time.
