A number of non-governmental and aid relief organisations have started to roll out the StoveTec/EcoZoom stoves to their beneficiaries. One such partnership has been with Siyanceda Africa Relief who, through funding from donors and the public, distributed the StoveTec stoves to hundreds of families in the rural areas of the Eastern Cape province as part of their Winter 2011 Project.
In 2011, the Siyanceda team distributed the award-winning stove to those in need by teaming up with various churches and organisations around the Eastern-Cape. In doing so, the EcoZoom stove changed nearly 300 family’s lives by ensuring that they save money with every meal cooked and keeping them warm. The people were amazed that they can cook their meals without having to buy paraffin and delighted that the stove also acts as a heater during the cold, winter months.
With the great success of the project, Siyanceda Africa and Restio Energy yet again made the winter2012 season easier for hundreds of South Africa’s poorest communities by giving them an EcoZoom stove.
