Let’s just say that after almost 40 months since The Charcoal Project paddled out sea, the big waves are finally starting to form on the horizon.

Betty Ikalany
Ugandan entrepreneur uses briquettes to address gender and development issues
Betty Ikalany is eager to include women in her budding briquette-making enterprise. She believes the income-generating potential offered by briquette-making will empower women by making them more economically independent.
She specifically targets women living with HIV/AIDS and girls dropping out of school due to pregnancy because these two groups usually suffer greatly from stigma and discrimination in the community, which impedes their ability to provide a living for themselves.
