I made a journey to go kiss my mother
and on my way home I met my kid sister
Collingwood where she saw me and she
started crying she was tired of missing
school at least twice a week to go
gather wood for my family it’s Carol in
Uganda because that’s what their
families used to education has changed
my life so seeing my sister the verge of
losing the only opportunity she had to
improve my life hit me on she inspired
me to think about an alternative source
of fuel I quit my job my boss thought
that was crazy my mum thought I was
under a spell
I came back to Kampala and then went to
a university professor
he made me stand in front of his class
and said this young man is crazy enough
to think that he can fix the energy
crisis in this country but he doesn’t
know how to do it who wants to help him
and everyone’s hand went up I had $500
and we run through it ultimate I decided
to sell my TV my bed my sofa seat after
I sold my stuff my girlfriend slammed
the door and said if you want to waste
your life waste use alone now I’m the
CEO vehicle fuel Africa it’s amazing
what can happen if you believe in your
dreams and act upon it we figured out
how to turn from waste like sugarcane
waste coffee has gone waste into clean
cooking fuel advanced cleaner runs
longer and is 65% cheaper
we put out for that in the market and
people loved it that’s when the journey
began walk with the network of twenty
five hundred farmers we have four
hundred and sixty women retailers who
sell this fuel back to the communities
currently we reach ten thousand
households while we want to reach
sixteen point six million households in
the next 10 years by bringing clean
cooking fuel to users we are stopping
deforestation stopping indoor air
pollution and the neighboring farmers
and women – any more kids in school
getting the education they need and me I
fell in love again with the wonderful
movement now she’s my wife and together
we have a beautiful baby girl I only
look at myself as an everyday community
guy trying to make his community a
little bit better
