Envirofit – Launch of Econochar and Econofire cookstoves in Kenya and Nigeria
“Envirofit is excited to announce the official launch of the EconocharTM and EconofireTM cookstoves in Kenya and Nigeria this holiday season. We spent over 18 months conducting extensive consumer research and user acceptance studies to create a line of affordable cookstoves that safely support large cooking pots while cooking quickly and efficiently. The arrival of the econoline marks the first low-cost products to compete with traditional stoves on the market without requiring carbon subsidies. The other major break-through is that these stoves can be assembled very easily in the field. This enables remote distribution partners as well aid/relief channels alike to create skilled labor jobs at the last mile.”
” To ensure stoves are accessible to both urban and rural populations Envirofit is working in partnership with Tower Brand Nigeria and Kaluworks Kenya to create greater access for our dealers and small business owners region-wide. This partnership represents the first major scalable solution for both wood and charcoal users with the potential to impact people that cook over an open fire or use inefficient charcoal stoves – saving them money, time and lives.”
