This loan is part of BURNs effort to provide a market-based approach to address the global challenges of deforestation, advanced respiratory illness, global warming and poverty. Kiva loans target BURNs distribution partners in East Africa. These partners range from small SACCOs to for-profit distribution outfits. Loans will be in-kind for stock purchases of BURN stoves, such as the Jikokoa, a charcoal-burning stove that pays for itself in about three months through cost savings. By supporting this loan, you are helping BURN offer more affordable rates to its local distributors, thereby enabling increased sales of clean cookstoves in the region.
