MyCredit and Volcanova Africa Limited officials after inking the dealMyCredit Limited, a licensed Digital Credit Provider (DCP) and Volcanova Africa Limited, a prominent clean energy solutions provider, have officially announced a joint partnership to transition schools from traditional wood fuel to clean Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) powered cookers.The LPG-powered cookers project officially launched at Nairobi’s Fadhili Junior School. Through this initiative, MyCredit and Volcanova Africa successfully transformed the school’s cooking facilities by completely renovating the kitchen space and installing large-scale, high-efficiency institutional LPG cookers.This partnership will address a widespread national challenge: the reliance on wood fuel that exposes kitchen staff and students to toxic particulate matter. The project directly combats that threat by aiming to eliminate hazardous indoor air pollution, reduce school operational costs, and halt institutional firewood consumption that drives local deforestation.Speaking at the MOU signing, MyCredit Limited’s Managing Director, Mr. Wangaruro Mbira, stated, “We are proud to partner with Volcanova Africa to bring clean cooking infrastructure directly to the heart of the education system. We want to ensure that our strategic school financing goes hand in hand with achieving public health and environmental mandates. We are not just upgrading stoves; we are protecting our children’s future and our forests.”MyCredit has committed KES 500 million towards the modernization of school kitchens across Kenya, targeting 150 schools in a push to transition institutions from firewood to LPG cookers.Volcanova Africa Limited’s CEO, Yusuf Ssemakula, commented, “We focus entirely on the hands-on work of equipping institutional kitchens with LPG. By prioritizing the physical setup and infrastructure required to upgrade large-scale kitchens, we turn clean energy ambition into a functional, everyday reality. Placing institutional LPG at the centre of our network ensures we deliver a highly practical system with one clear goal: make clean cooking useful and easily accessible at scale”.The post MyCredit, Volcanova Launch Clean Cooking Drive in Kenyan Schools appeared first on Business Focus.
