Our History

Our roots in forestry

Initially, our journey began with forestry initiatives in South Sudan and North Uganda. Our efforts aimed to restore and preserve the indigenous biodiversity of these regions, while providing high-quality timber product and improved livelihood solutions to communities.

A transition to clean cooking solutions

Our vision is to be a driving force in catalysing the sustainable cooking transition in rural North Uganda, where it is the most needed. We aim to have positively impacted the lives of millions of individuals through the distribution of 600,000 cookstoves by 2030.

Our Partners

At ECC, we believe that meaningful change is achieved through collaboration and shared vision. Our partners are instrumental in helping us deliver innovative clean cooking solutions and sustainable development across Africa. By working hand-in-hand with local communities, international organizations, and industry leaders, we amplify our impact and reach, creating lasting benefits for both people and the planet. Together, we are building healthier homes, protecting the environment, and contributing to a brighter, more sustainable future.
