FUNGUO'S WORKSHOP: MAKING OF CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES!
We're empowering women, one briquette at a time! By switching from Tree-burned charcoal to animal dropping and grass briquettes, we're not only protecting the environment but also promoting healthier cooking practices. Plus, it's a game-changer for our women who can now sell these eco-friendly briquettes and earn a steady income 💪
Thanks, , Mekenye for being part of this awesome initiative! " 😊
