7,145 pilot households, and growing
During the 2025 pilot, 7,145 households across Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono paid for clean cooking the same way they pay for airtime. Small amounts, mobile money, on demand. Refill data showed most users topped up in 1–2 kg increments, exactly as designed for daily-earning families.
Average household saves around 40% versus charcoal, recovers ~1.4 hours/day from fuel collection, and avoids ~210 kg CO₂e per year in indoor smoke and short-lived climate pollutants.
