A loan helped a member to pay for a stove.


Godfather Group's story

Masamaule is a 27-year-old married mother of two children; the eldest being 5 and the youngest being 2. Her husband is 33. She stays in a two-roomed house with no electricity. During the cold winter months, her family sits outside to warm themselves in an open fire where they are exposed to smoke, or they buy paraffin. She spends around LSL 390 per month on paraffin and LSL 190 on LPG. Moreover, she pays LSL 5 every two or three days to charge her mobile phone.

With the purchase of a ACE1 stove, her monthly expenses will be significantly reduced, and the little money she makes, as a subsistence farmer, will be spend on saving for her family's basic needs.

The ACE1 stove uses 70% less fuel and is smokeless It also has an LED lamp for lighting and one can also charge his/her phone on the stove.
