Measurable climate, health and livelihood impact
As of May 2026, Kyuka diverts about 20 tonnes of plastic every day from open burning, landfills and Kampala's drainage — fuelling 25,000+ households on Pay-As-You-Cook and putting income in the hands of 300+ women and youth collectors.
Cleaner kitchens. Less plastic pollution. More green jobs.

Indoor air quality and reduced respiratory illness.
Income, leadership and time savings for women.
Affordable clean cooking access at scale.
Dignified green jobs across the value chain.
Plastic kept out of landfills and waterways.
Reduced GHG vs. charcoal, firewood, kerosene.
What changes when the smoke clears
"Cooking with Kyuka, my kitchen has no smoke. My children stopped coughing."
"I used to scavenge informally. Now I have a steady weekly income and a uniform."
"I cook three times faster. My margin per plate doubled in the first month."
From a Kampala pilot to a regional clean cooking platform.
Four phases tied to specific dates, capacity targets and customer milestones — so investors and partners can track progress against real KPIs.
Phase 1 — Proof & trust
Operate the Katanga pilot at ~20 t/day, onboard 25,000+ paying households, formalise safety records and publish monthly impact reports.
- 20 t/day diverted
- 25,000+ paying customers
- 300+ green jobs
Phase 2 — Production readiness
Commission a second SFRET reactor with automated feedstock sorting, fuel quality lab and ISO-aligned storage at the Kampala industrial hub.
- 50 t/day capacity
- Independent fuel-quality certification
- ISO 9001 / 14001 alignment
Phase 3 — Distribution growth
Scale PAYG across Wakiso and Mukono via women-led ambassador networks, vendor refill points and last-mile logistics partnerships.
- 100,000+ households
- 30+ neighbourhood refill stations
- 10+ distribution partners
Phase 4 — Replication
Use Kyuka-Pulse dashboards, AI demand forecasting and a partner playbook to license modular hubs in new East African cities.
- 3+ cities outside Uganda
- Verified carbon-credit issuance
- Open pilot playbook
