Clean cooking is often discussed as a social intervention. In reality, it is a viable, scalable business—one that puts cash directly into people’s hands.
Every eco-friendly cookstove sold saves households fuel, time, and money. But the impact goes far beyond the kitchen. Clean cooking creates income opportunities across the entire value chain, turning everyday energy needs into sustainable livelihoods.
At HOSERNEGIE, clean cooking is designed as a member-driven business model, not a donation program.
Members earn income at multiple levels:
-
Local production and assembly of eco-friendly cookstoves
-
Sales and last-mile distribution within communities
-
Maintenance and after-sales support services
-
Bulk sourcing of materials and cooperative marketing
The outcome is straightforward:
stoves move, and money moves.
Instead of profits leaving the community, revenue circulates locally. Members earn steady income, households reduce spending on fuel, and adoption grows naturally through trust and word-of-mouth. As more people experience the benefits, demand increases—and the business strengthens.
Clean cooking succeeds because it solves a daily, unavoidable problem. And when a solution addresses a daily problem, it sells. That’s what makes clean cooking commercially viable and socially transformative at the same time.
This is how impact becomes a business.
And this is how members earn—rather than depend.
