End-user stories from the field

Sikuzani Abdallah is a resident of the densely populated Mbagala ward of Temeke District in Dar es Salaam. She shared her past experiences in the kitchen of her home on a busy inner street of the Nambua area. She reminisced about the hours she spent lighting her charcoal ‘jiko’, preparing her ingredients and cooking meals for her family of 5.

Sikuzani is within the distribution network of Moto Safi, a subsidiary of Consumers Choice Limited and CookFund programme beneficiary. She is now a proud Moto Safi customer and has adopted the use of bioethanol as part of her cooking energy mix.

She cites the freedom she now enjoys due to the time efficiency of cooking with bioethanol as a benefit. The convenient cooking method has not only improved her daily routine but also contributed to a cleaner and healthier environment for her family.

Companies such as Consumer Choice Limited are instrumental in promoting the benefits of clean cooking technologies to households in heavily populated urban areas and accessing end users like Sikuzani.
