Our founder and Managing Director Virginia Echavarria visited Taipei last week to promote the use of energy efficient and clean cooking technologies in Ugandan schools. This visit was possible thanks to the invitation and support of Love Binti International, a Taiwanese registered NGO since 2015, with several implemented projects in Uganda that include sustainable agriculture, access to clean water, and women’s menstrual hygiene.
This visit included various presentations, and aimed at building partnerships, share success stories, and explore the potential collaboration with an array of Taiwanese stakeholders committed to climate action, sustainable developmnet, and social innovation.
Through energy efficient and clean cookstove projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve health outcomes, Simoshi issues high-integrity carbon credits that support both climate and human development goals. Virginia had the amazing opportunity to share Simoshi’s experience with local businesses, environmental groups, and academic institutions, positioning its model as a powerful example of how Taiwan can engage in global carbon markets, while making a measurable difference in schools in Uganda.
