What started as a simple visit quickly became one of our favourite moments of the year. We went to visit a well-known and loved grandmother in her village — famous for her content on Tiktok and Facebook which covers her daily life activities, and of course, her incredible cooking.
But when we stepped into her kitchen, we noticed she was still using the old three-stone fire. The smoke filled the room, and while she cooked with so much love, we knew the setup wasn’t safe for her health. So we decided to do something about it. On our first visit, we didn’t just show up – we showed up with goodie: shopping bags, our products, greetings,  laughter, and hungry stomachs. Lunch was prepared, we shared a hearty meal, and spent time in her beautiful farm listening to her stories. By the end of the day, she felt like family. Then came the big day. We returned with skilled stove builders, ready to give her kitchen the upgrade she deserved. Piece by piece, her new traditional energy-saving stove came to life. When she saw the final result, her smile said everything. 

Cleaner air.
Safer cooking.
A happier shosh 

This experience reminded us why we do what we do — because real impact begins in real homes, with real people. And sometimes, the smallest changes make the biggest difference.
