Clean Cooking Activities
Econome is a social business which combines distribution and entrepreneurship models to reach rural consumers with a range of impactful products for their household needs through working with a network of entrepreneurs, mainly women who reach consumers through groups. By working with entrepreneurs, we ensure that our presence in communities is as close as it can get to end consumers, which helps to foster trust; a key element in building successful long term customer relationships.
We currently sell pressure cookers, clean charcoal and LPG stoves with affordable short term payment terms that are extended directly by agents to customers that they screen and are confident can afford the repayments.
The company is now a year old during which over 400 cookstoves and 20 pressure cookers have been sold. 50% of total cookstove sales have been LPG units; a clear indication of demand. As we grow, we also intend to set up a fuel distribution network, to generate additional revenues and satisfy consumer demand.

As an enterprise selling products, the company will directly contribute towards consumer behaviour change and environmental conservation.
We are creating livelihoods through working with entrepreneurs, mainly women to participate in economic development by facilitating them to run their own businesses, which generate addiional income for their households.
We are bridging the gender gap by allowing women to become more efficient in running their households, with less pollutants that would ultmately affect the health of their households and in cleaner environments.
